Part 2: 3. Make a Prediction (before you start your experiment): What do you think will happen if you put the butter stick from Part 1 (after it changed) in the fridge for a few hours? Try your best to guess the right answer before doing the experiment.

Answer 1

Before conducting the experiment, I predict that if the butter stick, which has already undergone a change in texture or state, is placed in the fridge for a few hours, it will become firmer and regain a more solid state. This is because refrigeration usually causes fats, like butter, to cool down and solidify after being melted or softened. Therefore, I expect the butter to return to a solid consistency, making it easier to spread compared to its softened form.
