Teachers

Welcome to the teacher section of Discover Dairy. It was developed by Dairy Australia to engage and educate teachers and students about the Australian dairy industry and the nutritious products it produces.

Dairy foods provide a total health package, not only as a rich source of calcium for Australians, but also because they naturally contain many other nutrients that are essential for good health. And because dairy foods taste great it's easy to enjoy them every day!

Discover Dairy provides teachers with a comprehensive range of teaching tools across three educational modules including background information, cross-curricular lesson ideas, downloadable and printable student activity sheets for use in both the school and home environments and fun, interactive games.
