Farming is important work because everyone needs food. There are many different types of farms. Crop farms are farms that grow vegetables and grains. Farms that grow fruits are called orchards. Dairy farms are farms that specialize in raising cows that produce milk and milk products. Many products come from milk, such as cream, butter, cheese, and ice cream.
Liquids and solids are two forms of matter. Some liquids can become solid, and some solids can become liquid. All liquids can pour and take the shape of the container that they are in. Solids keep their own shape and cannot flow like a liquid. Milk and cream are liquids that contain fat particles. When the milk and cream are mixed together, the fat particles smash into each other and create larger fat particles. When the milk and cream mixture begins to freeze, the larger fat particles become ice cream, which is a solid.
