But how do you actually turn cream into butter?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jewel wasn&#8217;t sure, so we decided to try this &#8220;making butter activity&#8221; to find out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"info-box\">\n<h3 class=\"general\">Suitable for<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;d recommend this food science project for preschoolers (<a href=\"\/3-4years\/\">3-4 year olds<\/a>), and kindergarten \/ early primary school kids (<a href=\"\/5-6years\/\">5-6 year olds<\/a>).

Taste it. Observe it. What colour is the butter? What colour is the buttermilk? Which is a liquid and which is a solid? Why did it separate like that? (If you&#8217;re not sure yourself, see our explanation below).<\/li>\n<li>Strain off the buttermilk into the smaller bowl and keep in the fridge.

This creamy milk is a &#8220;colloid,&#8221; a substance in which small, insoluble particles are suspended throughout another substance. In this case, those insoluble particles are actually little globules of fat, distributed in a water-based solution.<\/p>\n<p>In the olden days, farmers would let this creamy milk sit for a few hours until it separated, with the (less dense) cream rising to the top, and the (more dense) milk below. The cream could then be skimmed off. Nowadays this separation process is sped up, using a <em>very cool-sounding<\/em> centrifugal separator machine. The end result of separated milk and cream is still the same.<\/p>\n<p>Cream contains lots of tiny fat molecules within a water-based solution. When you whip cream, a number of things happen. Firstly, you force air into the cream. Secondly, you break the fragile shell around the fat molecules, which causes some of the fat molecules to clump together, forming larger and larger molecular clumps. At this point, not all of the fat molecules are stuck together &#8211; some of the fat molecules have instead clumped to tiny pockets of air. This is what creates the foam effect of fluffy whipped cream, which is delicious with fresh strawberries.<\/p>\n<p>If you continue to whip the whipped cream, more and more of the fat molecules clump together, releasing the air pockets. This causes the internal structure, which until now had been able to hold the fat and water components together, to collapse, dramatically releasing the watery component as buttermilk.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhat confusingly, buttermilk is actually lower in fat than &#8216;regular&#8217; milk. It&#8217;s also more acidic, which is why it reacts with the baking soda in pancake batter, creating carbon dioxide bubbles and the fluffiest pancakes ever. I&#8217;m totally going to have to do a pancake science experiment next!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4388\" src=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-homemade-butter-and-buttermilk-from-cream-kitchen-science-for-kids.jpg\" alt=\"Making homemade butter and buttermilk from cream - kitchen science for kids\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-homemade-butter-and-buttermilk-from-cream-kitchen-science-for-kids.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-homemade-butter-and-buttermilk-from-cream-kitchen-science-for-kids-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-homemade-butter-and-buttermilk-from-cream-kitchen-science-for-kids-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-homemade-butter-and-buttermilk-from-cream-kitchen-science-for-kids-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Extension Ideas:<\/strong> Older kids (and adults!) might like to experiment a little. Try some of these variations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much time does it take to turn cream into butter? Does temperature affect this?<\/li>\n<li>Measure out the ratios of cream to butter and buttermilk produced. Is this ratio the same each time? If you wanted a set amount of butter or buttermilk, how much cream would you need?<\/li>\n<li>Look for other types of cream such as whipping cream, heavy cream, double cream, clotted cream. Pay attention to the fat content percentage. How does the fat content affect the amount of time it takes to make butter, or the ratios of butter to buttermilk produced? How about the taste?<\/li>\n<li>See if you can source cream from other mammals, like goat, sheep, water buffalo, or even yak, camel or horse! Do these creams differ in taste, texture or colour? Can you notice similar differences in the butters these creams make?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4389\" src=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-butter-edible-science-for-kids.jpg\" alt=\"Making butter - edible science for kids\" width=\"600\" height=\"1262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-butter-edible-science-for-kids.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-butter-edible-science-for-kids-143x300.jpg 143w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-butter-edible-science-for-kids-428x900.jpg 428w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-butter-edible-science-for-kids-71x150.jpg 71w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Making-butter-edible-science-for-kids-250x526.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Note: I should mention that I&#8217;m an amateur but keen home scientist, and I gleaned most of the above information from researching several articles on the net.
