Liquids and solids are two forms of matter. Matter can also be a gas. Everything on Earth is a form of matter. Liquids do not hold their shape and can be poured. Solids hold their shape and cannot be poured. Some solids can be melted to become a liquid. For example, ice is a solid but becomes a liquid once melted. Some liquids can be changed into a solid. For instance, when cream is churned, it becomes a solid—butter.
Butter is usually made by a process called churning. The cream from milk is placed in a cylindrical shaped container and vigorously beaten until it thickens into butter. Any liquid remaining in the cylinder is poured off. The butter is mixed and blended, and sometimes salt is added. Next, it is cut, wrapped, and chilled. Butter is refrigerated to maintain freshness.
