Since 1984, July has been celebrated as National Ice Cream Month, with the third Sunday in July known as National Ice Cream Day. With long, warm summer days, and the kids out of school, what better way to amuse ourselves than with ice cream? Today’s website picks include recipes, a peek at ice cream’s history, and even a few educational games thrown in for good measure.
Ice Cream Science
Ruben is a British ice cream entrepreneur and food scientist who blogs about ice cream production. High school students (and grownups) will enjoy learning about the role of fat in ice cream, why corn syrup is used in ice cream, and why stabilizers are used in ice cream. “The best ice creams in the world have a smooth and creamy texture. This texture, primarily associated with a high milk fat content and small ice crystal size, is also strongly influenced by the viscosity of the ice cream mix.”

Mr. Nussbaum: Clara Fraction's Ice Cream Shop
“I’ll have an ice cream with the following: 9/4 chocolate, 5/3 vanilla, 9/4 coffee.” Help Clara in her ice cream shop by making ice cream cones according to the orders. To complete each order, you will need to convert fractions into mixed numbers, correctly calculate the bill, and create the cone. You’ll earn money for each correctly filled order, but make a mistake and it will cost you some earnings!
