Dairy Recyclers
Grades: Elementary (2-4)
Subject Area: STEM, Environmental Science
Made Possible By: American Dairy Association North East (ADANE)
Get students excited about sustainability by exploring the many ways dairy farmers recycle to protect and preserve the environment. Students brainstorm new ways to recycle at home, learn why dairy cows are natural recyclers, and use recycled dairy containers for desktop farming.
Take a standards-supported virtual farm tour with your students to add to the learning experience. Students will get an overview of where their favorite dairy foods come from, while learning about how local farmers care for their animals and the land and use technology on the farm.
