Part of Lesson Plan: Milk Definitions and Milk Comparisons

Activity Overview / Details

Each table will be set up with a small pitcher of a different type milk and cups. Types will include whole milk, 2% lowfat, 1% lowfat, skim, soy milk, rice milk, lactose free milk, almond milk, etc.  (Allergies and lactose intolerance will need be taken into consideration prior to this set up).

As students file in to the classroom and take their seat some may drink the milk, but most will probably leave it alone.

As the bell rings, students will be invited to pour the milk and be asked “what is in the pitcher”.  Most will respond, “milk.”  Teacher response… “But what kind of milk?”   This will lead into the fact that all milk is not created equally.
