• Chapter 1 - State of Matter

You may be wondering, "How does milk become ice cream?" Well, we dive head first into an ice cream machine (metaphorically, of course) to get a look at what's going on behind the scoops and answer all your chilling questions.

• Chapter 2 - Minerals & Compounds

Consider this lesson "The History of Salt & Straw" or at least, the history of where our name comes from. Bonus: Join us for a simple experiment that yields a sweet reward.

• Chapter 3 - Add-Ins

From chocolate chips to chocolate covered crickets (yes you read that right), every ice cream add-in tells a story. Tune in to learn more about the magical ingredients that make our favorite dessert so sweet.

• Chapter 4 - Flavors (our favorite chapter!)

Why do things taste incredibly unbelievable together, whereas others...not so much? Join us to learn all about the ways in which we ‘experience’ taste - and how this impacts the creative combinations of our ice cream flavors.
