Discover Dairy and Make the Invisible, Visible resource will help your students to develop knowledge and understanding about all the things the dairy industry does to raise cows and calves, produce, process and deliver milk, and manage the environment sustainably.
This project-based learning (PBL) unit has a series of activities that will prompt your students to use their thinking skills and grow an appreciation of the methods they can apply as they encounter challenges in unfamiliar information and new ideas. Using 6 phases: Define, Discover, Dream, Design, Deliver and Debrief; students will expand their knowledge and understanding through designing and producing skills. Students will be required to design and produce recipe cards that include information about the provenance of the milk that farmers produce, and to educate consumers by telling the story about how milk is produced and proceeded in Australia.
Teachers are provided with suggested learning experiences supporting study into:
- developing understandings about the Australian dairy industry and the nutritious products it produces
- developing understandings about the Australian dairy industry, milk production and the range of sustainable practices the industry and supply chain have embraced
- defining the managed environments and systems that are used to look after cows and calves, produce, process and deliver milk and manage the environment sustainably.
