'Discover Dairy Beyond the Refrigerator'

Dive deep into dairy while we explore the free-to-use, interactive, cross-curricular program, Discover Dairy. Discover Dairy meets Common CORE standards in science, reading and math, while covering social studies concepts by showing students where milk comes from and how dairy farms contribute to our world. It offers full lesson plans geared for elementary and middle school students, farm field trip grants, online video resources, virtual farm tour opportunities as well as an Adopt-A-Cow program. We will explore the website, preview the curriculum and supporting materials as well as sample hands-on labs directly from the lessons.
