When learning about the Vikings, we saw that one of the craftspeople’s skills was churning butter. We decided, as a science experiment, we would try and make our own butter. We needed plastic bottles, cream, salt, bread and a toaster. We poured around 100ml of cream into the bottle, added a pinch of salt and shook vigorously for approximately one minute. While our butter was taking shape we made toast. Mr. McHugh cut our bottles open and we were amazed to see butter inside, although we didn’t love the smell! Thankfully it tasted a lot better than it smelled and we enjoyed our delicious homemade butter on toast. YUM!
