In the 2007-2008 school year I created a quarter project for my chemistry students where they had to research and present a chemical demonstration. I did this for several reasons: first it got me both a lab-type and partner opportunity in one project, next it gave the students and me a chance to see some demonstrations that don't really fit into the curriculum, and finally I wanted them to better appreciate the work that I personally put into doing my demonstrations. Overall the project was a success and we all enjoyed the new demonstrations. The project has been slightly modified, but has become a permanent part of my curriculum (these videos are from the 08-09 school year).
In these videos I've tried my best to film the performance of the demonstration. The explanation of it was given by the students to their peers in a lecture format as a part of the project, but has not been filmed. I will do my best to explain briefly how the demonstration works, but feel free to ask questions.
In this demonstration two students make creamy ice cream with liquid nitrogen.

  • is it safe for us to eat ?

  • @PrincessMisch You have to wait until all of the liquid nitrogen has boiled off and it is better to let it warm up a little, but otherwise yes. We ate this batch after the video was filmed. I've had students preform this demonstration three years in a row now and we've consumed it every time (the two years that strawberries were added they were almost too hard/frozen to bite comfortably).

    "Brain freeze" is a little bigger issue with this method.

    As a side note, Dippin' Dots are made using LN2.
