Mmmmm Butter!!!

As part of our Science unit on Marvellous Milk we made butter and observed the changes that happen when the cream is turned into butter. We made the butter by half filling a jar with cream and shaking it till it split into butter and whey.  We also looked at how to speed up the process and put marbles in one of the jars to see if it made a difference - and it did! The marbles churned the butter faster than shaking alone.

Once we had strained and shaped the butter we tested and observed the changes in it by using our senses - sight, smell, feel and TASTE!!!!! Yum, our butter was delicious spread on wine biscuits.  We also shared them with Rooms 5 & 6 , Anne-Marie and Mrs Duston :-)
