Ice Cream

We decided to do our project on ice cream, because topic can move many different directions. Our project included almost all subject include history, science, writing, and much more. Another reason we choose this project because we thought it would be fun to make and learn about ice cream.
The highlight of our project was the ice cream survey. We brought in each flavor and served it at second & third period each day. Before we conducted our experiment, we thought  that the chocolate flavor would be the favorite of the class because looking at the recipe, it  had the most sugar of all the flavors. Another reason we thought chocolate was the fact that everybody has tried this flavor before. 
We Matcha first because was most usual when we didn't think people would like is ice cream very much, and the data shows that we were correct. The gelato was next and making was a little bit tougher. Joey liked it, but I did not and some people liked it, but some didn't. The next flavor was French Vanilla, it was by far tough one to make out of all the flavors, but labor pay off. Everyone loved it and no one rated it lower than an 8. Finally, the last flavor we made was chocolate. We wiped out in about 20 minutes. Mostly everyone liked it rating it decently, but to our surprise it was rated lower than the French Vanilla.
How we rated each flavor was we asked everybody to rate it from 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. After all the ratings came in we averaged the score on each flavor to compare it to other flavors. The Matcha Green Tea ranked around 3, the coffee gelato ranked around 7, the chocolate ranked around 8, and the WINNER is the French Vanilla which almost got a perfect 10. We think the reason why matcha was last was that nobody we tested like taste of tea, so the unique taste the ice cream had was disgusting to almost all of the students we tested. We think that the coffee gelato scored a decent was because many people liked the coffee flavor, but not everybody has a taste for coffee yet, so it limited it's score. The chocolate didn't rank first we think, because didn't have enough milk to make it creamy enough. French Vanilla was the favorite, because it had a combo of sugar and milk enhance the French Vanilla taste.  
At the end of our we learned surprising new things. We didn't know that French Vanilla is the favorite of the class. We also learned many other things that we put on our poster and time line. Hopefully you enjoyed our project!!! :)
