Chilled Education are pleased to work with Sam Holyman, STEM teacher at Aylesford School, Warwick on a range of resources. Sam has developed a series of STEM Club Resources. STEM C lub Activity: Cream In this fun and engaging STEM Club activity, students explore the science of dairy by making their own butter and instant ice cream. The process begins with shaking full-fat cream vigorously, causing the fat particles to collide, stick together, and separate from the buttermilk, resulting in fresh butter. Students learn about the role of fat in dairy products and the physical changes that occur during the process. Next, students create instant ice cream, just like the Victorians did, by lowering the temperature of ice with salt to freeze dairy ingredients. This experiment demonstrates the principles of freezing point depression and how salt affects the freezing process. The resources for this activity, developed by Sam Holyman, STEM teacher at Aylesford School, include clear instructions for making butter and ice cream, along with discussion points about the science behind each process. These resources, available for download, offer a fun way to teach students about the physical properties of food, while also giving them a hands-on experience in food science.
