Middle/Upper Primary School Lesson Ideas & Student Activity Sheets
Following are some lesson and activity ideas designed to assist your students to discover all about the stages involved in the creation of Australian dairy products - from milk production on the farm to arrival at supermarkets.
These lesson and activity ideas have been divided into the Learning Areas, allowing maximum flexibility for incorporating them into your mainstream curriculum activities. All lesson ideas and activity sheets have been carefully designed so that they can be adapted for different levels and abilities.
Some activity ideas encourage students to involve family members at home, and some link directly to the downloadable and printable student activity sheets. The student activity sheets and lesson ideas are designed to be used in conjunction with the 'Discover Dairy 3 serves every day!' website, to complement students' learning, and interaction with the website.
