New Resource: As part of the Let’s Eat Healthy: Explore Dairy 3rd-5th and High School units, the student workbook gives a hands-on application to the lessons and videos. Students will follow how dairy gets from farm to school or store, diagram cow digestion, and learn how a variety of cultures use dairy products.
Designed by California educators, Let's Eat Healthy: Explore Dairy builds value for milk and dairy foods in a healthy, sustainable eating pattern through five 20-30 minute lessons of videos, taste tests, extension activities and more. This educational unit invites students to use all their senses on a journey of food discovery through nutrition, agriculture and cultural traditions. To successfully teach this curriculum make sure you have the grade level Educator Overview. Click here for 3rd-5th and here for high school (coming soon).
Based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and to complement public health programs, the Explore Dairy unit references MyPlate as a visual reminder to make healthy eating choices that are varied, balanced and customizable.
Designed by Dairy Council of California in partnership with California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom, San Joaquin County Office of Education, Lodi Unified and educators.
