FOOD SECTION: RECIPE FOR FRESH BUTTER
For Physical and Health Education, our kid reporters learned about different Food Groups that everyone should eat to maintain optimum health.
For this activity, the students focused on Milk and Alternatives that now make up a small part of the new Canada Food Guide.
Without knowing what they were going to make, the children took turns, and shook this jar of whipping cream…
The students shook and shook, until they noticed that something was happening to the liquid…
It had turned into whipped cream!
Alas, we weren’t done, I told the kids. So they continued to shake, and after a while, this is what happened to the whipped cream…
The kids noticed the sloshing sound every time they shook the jar, and they observed that the whipped cream had split into two distinct things. In their words, the learners noticed a “heavy white solid” and “almost clear-ish liquid!”

We washed away the buttermilk, and we were left with creamy homemade butter…just perfect for our whole-grain bread!
Here are the recipes my foodies wanted to share with the world…
