All-in-one 2nd grade Ice Cream Unit

Throughout this unit, students investigate the properties of ice cream as a solid and liquid to help address standards about properties of matter and how that matter can change because of temperature changes.  Ultimately, the model and explanation students create is to explain how and why a liquid mixture can turn into solid ice cream, however, knowing the big science ideas behind the system allows students to explain multiple related events, including other changes in matter.
