On March 5th, 2024, Week 2 of our educational journey, the students of PYP 3 at Shri Ram Academy delved into the fascinating world of butter-making and tasting. This hands-on exploration provided them with a sensory experience like no other, as they learned about the different types of butter and the science behind its creation. The primary goal of this activity was to give students a deeper understanding of the butter-making process, introduce them to various types of butter, and explore the scientific principles behind emulsification and fat separation.
We began by discussing the concept of butter with the children, highlighting its importance in cooking and the different varieties available.
Using a butter churn and cream milk, we demonstrated the process of making butter. The children observed closely as the cream transformed into butter and buttermilk, noting the changes in texture and color.
Following the demonstration, the children had the opportunity to taste each type of butter. They explored the unique flavors and textures, experiencing firsthand the diversity of butter varieties.
During the tasting session, the children were encouraged to pay attention to the aroma, appearance, texture, and flavor of each butter type. They engaged in discussions, sharing their observations and insights with their peers.
To conclude the activity, the children participated in a reflection session where they recorded their observations on a sheet. They discussed their experiences and learnings from the activity, focusing on aspects such as aroma, texture, taste, and appearance of each butter variety.
This exploration of butter not only provided students with a fun and engaging learning experience but also enhanced their understanding of food science and appreciation for different culinary traditions. It was truly a delightful journey from churn to table, leaving the students with a newfound appreciation for the humble yet versatile ingredient - butter
