Once a month Mrs. Clodfelter from the Whiteside County Farm Bureau visits our classroom for Ag in the Classroom. She has taught students about apples, pumpkins, soy beans, and this month her lesson was about cows. They learned about the cow's stomache, different breeds, and all the products we get from beef and dairy cows. The activity with her lesson this month was "Making Butter."
Each student was given a little plastic container, which she filled with heavy whipping cream and the students started shaking...and shaking....and shaking. Eventually they got butter. Here are some pictures from other day.
They got to taste the butter when it got to the right stage. They added some salty pretzels to enhance the flavor.
