Butter Lab

Butter lab 1 Introduction:

While doing this experiment we used 3 terms. We used cream, butter, and butter milk. Cream is unhomogenized butter. Butter is what we got after the lab was finished. Butter milk is the milk around the butter after it is homogenized and it is thicker than normal milk. If we shake the cream in a jar than will it turn into butter? If I shake the cream than it will turn into butter because it will homogenized. In this lab you will shake a jar of cream and see if will turn to butter.. This was tested by having a jar sit on the table and the other jar shaken. After this you will be able to see the difference. 2 Materials and Methods
