Kids in STEM at the DeSoto Parish Library in Logansport made Butter. Delicious, rich, creamy, butter.
The instructors asked, “’ Is the process of making butter a “chemical change” or a “physical change? Do you know?” The young scientists who participated in the STEM Program at Logansport Library can tell you.
They made predictions as to what would happen to cream when it gets agitated. The scientists compared the weights of emulsified cream to separated cream to find out if the agitation changed the weight of the cream. After making their predictions, each scientist agitated their cream and produced BUTTER.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious snack. Some of the young scientists discovered that they really like buttermilk.
