Butter

Our science unit over matter is always fun in my room. After the students learn what a solid, liquid, and gas, I read the story, "The Butter Battle" by Dr. Seuss. Before reading the story I give each student a 1oz container filled halfway with heavy cream. While I read the story, the kids shake the containers. We stop and discuss how it started as a liquid, and how we are changing it to a solid. The kids enjoyed eating their butter with saltine crackers.
