For our first Science club meeting this year we taught the students about science found in their own kitchens. We gave each student a small gas jar filled half full of whipping cream, we had the students shake the jar. The more they shook it the more the fat molecules broke down and began to stick together. After a few minutes of shaking the cream turned into butter. Some students had a 'yellowy' liquid left in their jar and other did not, we were able to discuss why this happened to some and not to others.
The kids had a great time making butter, we also taught the children about yeast and other household items that they could use to create their own experiments at home!
