Making ice cream!!!

We tried making this at school, however, it didn't quite turn out.
Some of the reasons we think it didn't turn out were:
- We used bags instead of jars
- We used only 1T of rock salt and 1T of normal salt
- We went outside whilst we were shaking up the mixture because we were making a mess inside and it was too warm and melted the ice-cream

You will need:

1. A large jar with a lid.
2. A smaller jar [with a tight-fitting lid] that would fit inside the larger one.
3. A spoon.
4.A hand towel.
5.1/2 cup of fresh whipping cream.
6.2 table spoons of sugar.
7.A few drops [no more then 1/4 of a teaspoon]of vanilla essence.
8.2 table spoons of rock salt.
9.Ice cubes.

How to make it

In the small jars you firstly put a small amount of the cream and the sugar in. Wait until the sugar dissolves. Then add the rest of the cream and the vanilla essence. Leave a two centimeter gap at the top of the jar. Make sure the lid is on tightly.

Now to make the freezers.

Break ice into small pieces, put some of it into the big jar. Now place the small jar on the ice. Then add more ice to cover it up. Lastly sprinkle salt over the ice. After that screw the lid on tightly.

Wriggle the jar back and forward for four minutes then leave it for one minute. Do this five times.
