Instructional Ideas

  • Have class groups research various mammals that lactate and produce milk, and then present their findings to the class
  • Flip the lesson having viewers watch the video and complete the quiz at home coming to class the next day for a whole-class discussion

Classroom Considerations

  • Best suited for an older more mature audience, such as a high school biology or health sciences class

Pros

  • Graphics demonstrate how milk stays fresh in the dairy industry, supporting the instruction of the topic
  • Offers statistics of how much milk is produced each year
  • Comes with discussion questions, a quiz to check for understanding, and links for further research

Cons

  • None
