pThis play and freeze ice cream maker provides students with a hands-on experience studying the properties of movement, freezing, and basic science principles all while making ice cream. No electricity is needed, make the ice cream by rolling the ball, and it is ready in approximately 30 minutes and makes 1 pint of ice cream. The ice cream maker is durable, made of polycarbonate construction. Please note that additional materials are needed to make the ice cream- ice, rock salt, and ice cream mix (sold separately).p Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Box was received broken and already opened. When I took the ball out, the 2 silicone covered won’t line up evenly. Clearly a return. Very disappointed. This was meant to be given as a gift but I am not willing to give a disheveled box to someone as a present.
We broke our first one playing too hard with it. Do not throw it in the air unless you know it will be caught. If it hits the ground it will break like an egg. But we got a good batch of ice cream while camping before we broke it. Got a new one to replace it because is a good product. Just don’t be foolish like us and throw it in the air…
My kid loves this machine and the ice cream turns out perfect! It’s a ball that you roll back and forth to make the ice cream. So you get a workout before you get your treat!
We followed all the steps many times and never could and didn't end up with anything close to ice-cream at all, always ended up with cream we put in. don't recommend at all.
I fought my wife on buying this thing. I'm glad that she did it anyways in retrospect.
I had visions of this ball taking up space in my cabinets for years without us ever using it, however, it has made quite a bit of ice cream. I use it now more than her. I like that the container is only one pint, so I'm not making a whole lot at once. It doesn't take a lot of ingredients to turn out some decent ice cream. It's surprisingly fun. You fill the bottom with ice and salt. You fill the top with heavy cream or coconut cream or whatever -add sugar and cocoa powder or vanilla and it turns out pretty damn good every time. I grew up with automatic ice cream makers and ice cream makers that had like a gel pack and all kinds of silly things with crank handles because my dad had dreams of making his own cream at home but he never really did. These things collected dust. Store bought ice cream is perfectly good. The whole idea of making ice cream to me sounds like a miserable chore. Because it's a ball, it doesn't really feel like work and we just started eating the concoctions straight out of the ball which is fine. I was wrong to argue with her when she wanted to buy this. Im converted. You should buy one. Or don't. I don't care.
Sí se hace el helado, pero el tiempo que tiene que estarla aventando es mucho, y es pesada, rodarla en el suelo o pasto no se puede porque la goma que la cubre se va zafando de su lugar. En resumen, sirve pero es impráctica y la goma que la cubre es difícil de limpiar, todo el polvo o basuritas se le quedan pegadas, tardo más lavándola que usándola
