Triton Elementary School Makes Butter
Students in Mrs. Cathy Strycker’s third grade class at Triton Elementary School had one last fun activity related to our studies on rural communities, cows, nutrition, and products … butter!
They learned so many things during their studies, but only had a chance to read about how products such as cheese and butter are made. Students got the chance to see first hand how fat particles separate from the liquids (curds and whey) and create a tasty treat.
Students found that it took a whole lot of shaking to create a delicious snack that they could spread on crackers and enjoy. Leftover butter was put in bags and taken home for families to try! Learning is yum!
