Lesson Plan
Next, describe to the class that to get these things from cows, we have to
milk them. Introduce the vocabulary words udder and teat. Show the
class pictures of a cow and their udder.
Then, pull out a latex glove and fill it with water (or milk). Tie off the top.
Poke a hole in each fingertip of the glove and ask the class: What does this
glove filled with water resemble (or look like to you)? (memory)
Show the children how to milk the cow by pulling on the udders. Place
the bowl under the glove for the water to pour into.
After that, provide latex gloves filled with water for a few classmates at a
time to try to milk the udder themselves. During this activity, ask the class
the following questions:
What do you know about cows? (memory)
How difficult do you think it would be to milk an actual cow? (divergent)
What might make milking a cow more or less difficult? (evaluative)
Can you milk both boy and girl cows? (convergent)
If a cow has a calf, what do you think her udder would be used for?
(divergent)
Simplification: What do you know about cows? What are some things we
get from cows? What are some different dairy products we make using milk?
What Next: Assuming the lesson was a success, the focus of the next
lesson would be to discuss what else we get from cows (beef) OR do an
activity on another farm animal, like a chicken, and teach about what we get
from chickens (eggs, meat).
