Room 10's investigation into how to make butter.

As part of our milk unit, Room 10 made several attempts at finding out how butter is made. The students were divided into four groups. Three tables were step up with the ingredients and the materials for making butter. The students had to select only one item from each  table and try to make butter.
The photographs below show what each group selected from each table.

The students roved around to check if the correct number of items were collected from each table. The students talked about the groups who selected more than one item from each  table , therefore they were sent back to put the items away and reselect the items for making butter.

Next the groups chose a table to sit at and make butter. These photographs show what the students did at each table.

"First we'll put the cream in the jar and then we'll use a whisk to whisk it. 

Oops the whisk is too big."...Sotheary. Let's Shake it ....Darshika

"Oops i think we need something else . We can't make butter with water

I think we need some yoghurt."...Evnik

Only one group was able to make butter. The photographs below show the butter that was made. 

The students enjoyed tasting the butter and used the word creamy to describe it. The students also had the opportunity to taste the butter form a supermarket. When the question was asked "How is Room 10's butter different from the supermarket butter ,one of the girls shouted..." the butter from the supermarket is salty". 

The photographs below show you what happened at the end of the investigation.
