Get ready to shake things up! This two-part lesson dives headfirst into the Kansas dairy industry, showing students what it really takes to get milk from the farm to their cereal bowls. With free supplies from the Ellis County Farm Bureau, kids will learn all about cow care and burn off some energy shaking liquid cream into solid, tasty butter!
Details
Activity One: Everything Dairy:
Discover how dairy products stay fresh! Students will briefly meet Kansas dairy cattle to see where milk begins, then dive into the cold chain to explore how milk and dairy products are processed, cooled, and safely transported from the farm to the store shelves.
Activity Two: Science You Can Snack On:
Turn liquid milk into kitchen magic! Students will investigate states of matter firsthand by shaking up their own mini-jars of cream until it turns into fresh butter to spread on a cracker.
