Our class had so much fun making butter from cream! We tried two types of cream: single and double to see which would work best. We found out that single cream did not work at all. The double cream took some time with lots of shaking and the help of our grandparents! 

We shook the cream in the jar until it became butter we dried it and put it on some lovely brown bread that Ms. Weir gave us. 

Butter is a mixture of milk fat and water called an emulsion. By shaking the cream the fat molecules start to stick together. Over time more and more fat molecules will stick together forming one single lump of butter.
