Butter and Cheese
Today we made butter. It seemed to be a huge success. The kids were given the opportunity to taste the butter they made! I believe almost all of the students tried their butter and it seemed as though they enjoyed it. We had to tell them to be sure and not eat it all so they had some to test later =) The following pictures show some of the process and products made at various points in the experiment.
We then meet again on Wednesday and attempted to make cheese. I say attempted because, unfortunately, our experiment did not turn out. However, we feel that this was still a valuable learning experience for the students. We discussed what we could learn from this with them and what we felt went wrong in the experiment. We also discussed why details are very important to follow in an experiment. Although, they were disappointed with the outcome the students had a good time during the process.
