July was National Ice Cream Month, so we focused on ice cream a lot. We read about ice cream, bought a hand-crank ice cream freezer, tried several ice cream recipes, talked about ice and salt and why ice with salt is colder than just ice, and Bard read the entire Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Book. To do a unit study on ice cream, check out these links:
A How To Make Ice Cream report
Ice Cream Analogies (requires a PDF reader)
Ice Cream Flavor survey and Ice Cream bar graph
Ice Cream Facts and Trivia at makeicecream.com
Here's a site that tells you what kind of person you are based on your favorite ice cream flavor. My favorite is Breyers Butter Pecan. :-)
And then, of course, there's A-Z Home's Cool's ice cream page. It includes a really promising looking link to an activity called Ice Cream and Algorithms which I haven't yet done but would really like to do.
