National Butter Day is happening on November 17, so it’s the perfect day to celebrate all things dairy and do some interactive activities with students! During these lessons, students will be introduced to both the history and science behind the process of turning heavy whipping cream (which comes from milk) into butter. Your class will make their own butter and discover how they can use their senses by adding different ingredients.

• Make Butter in a Jar: Pour it. Shake it. Strain it. Serve it! Make your own butter with only two supplies: heavy whipping cream and plastic cups. Age group? This activity is ideal for students of all grade levels.
  
• Make & Taste Butter Lesson: In this lesson, students will use a simple method to make butter and also discover ways to use butter to enhance the acceptance and enjoyment of nutrient-rich foods. Age group? This lesson is ideal for students in 6th – 8th grade.
