Part B : Experiment (10 points)
This experiment is meant to be both fun and tasty. For this simple experiment, you will be creating ice cream! Simply follow the link below and try your hands at making delicious ice cream. THEN, in no less than 100 words, describe your experiment.
What would a class on alchemy be if you didn't have to get your hands a little dirty? Well, for this month's Extra Credit assignment, you'll get a chance to do exactly that. Complete ONE of the following experiments and describe your observations in at least 250 words. Explain what you did, what happened and anything else you think pertinent.
Please note, I've given each of the experiments a difficulty rating based on the materials needed and the actual difficulty involved in performing the experiment. Also, in order to simplify things, I've linked each experiment instead of writing them all out again.
