27 year 3 and 4s and I had a fabulous day today learning about mixtures, solutions and colloids, discussing breakfast foods, making and sampling ice cream, and conducting a statistical inquiry about our favourite breakfast ice cream flavours based on the morning's tastings.
Lots of fun, lots of learning and teamwork, lots of squeals and lots of mess. Despite double bagging, several of the ice bags leaked, and despite my having provided each child with a plate and spoon for sampling purposes, lots of runny ice cream dripped on the carpet...
Hard to tell which was the outright favourite as different numbers of children sampled each one, but Miso was clearly the least popular, with plain and strawberry (predictably) being very popular.
