Butter, yoghurt, cheese ... are all dairy products, but what's the magic behind this transformation?
Goodness! How can an animal grazing so peacefully in the fields produce such a large quantity of milk?
Several conditions are necessary for this to happen. Divided into groups, the students will examine the characteristics of cows and the properties of milk: from their anatomy to their lactation cycle, including their diet and family photo. Then, we will look at another question: how is it that this warm liquid, fresh from the udder, can be transformed into butter, yogurt, or even better... cheese?
Topics covered: definition and characteristics of cows, their diet and lactation cycle, the components of milk, dairy products from cows and other animals around the world.
Organization: activities alternating between small groups (5 groups max) and group discussions.
Reservations required.
