Fastest Ice Cream Freeze
By: Brady Heitman
Purpose Statement:
The purpose of this experiment was to see who can get the brain freeze the fastest. I became interested in this experiment because my brother likes ice cream. The information gained from this experiment will help others learn more about ice cream's affect on the brain.
Research:
In its most basic form, ice cream is a mixture of cream and/or milk, sugar and sometimes eggs that is frozen while being churned to create a frozen product. In commercial ice-cream making, stab, such as plant gums, are usually added and the mixture is pasteurized and homogenized The mixture may have other flavors added, from something as simple as vanilla to fruit or other flavors and pieces of candy.
If you've ever experienced a sudden stabbing pain in your forehead when eating ice cream or enjoying a cool drink then you know what brain freeze is. Do you know what causes brain freeze or how you can stop the pain?
Hypothesis:
My hypothesis is Kobe will get a brain freeze the fastest. I base my hypothesis on who can eat ice cream the quickest.
