IRY
Please share the following information with your students
A healthy, well-balanced diet consists of eating a variety of natural,

unprocessed foods from the five food groups: Grain, Vegetable, Fruit,
Dairy, Protein. Today, you’re going to learn all about DAIRY!
Examples of DAIRY are:

• Milk, Butter (a dairy food that can be found in the fats and oils section
of the pyramid), Cottage Cheese, Cheese, Yogurt
Servings: (1,600—2,000 calorie level)

• Eat at least 2—3 cups every day
• 1 cup of milk or yogurt, 1-1/2 oz of natural cheese or 2 oz of proc-
essed cheese is considered 1 cup from the milk group. Choose low-fat
or fat-free products.
Nutrition:
• Healthier DAIRY choices are: Low-fat or Fat-free
• Common vitamins, minerals and healthy compounds found in Dairy
products are:
√ Calcium: for healthy bones and muscle contractions
√ Vitamin A: for healthy eyes
√ Vitamin D: helps the body use calcium and phosphorus
When choosing DAIRY products, make sure they are LOW-FAT or FAT
FREE! They taste great and they are good for you!

Milk is PACKED with NUTRIENTS!
Milk is PACKED with nine important nutrients

that all help the body in specific ways.
• Calcium: A mineral that helps build strong bones and teeth.
• Vitamin D: An important vitamin that helps the body absorb the

calcium it needs to build strong bones and
teeth.
• Vitamin A: A vitamin that helps your eyes see normally in the

dark and helps keep your skin healthy.
• Protein: An important nutrient vital for building and

maintaining muscle tissue.
• Potassium: Helps maintain normal blood pressure, regulates fluid

balance, and helps your muscles contract.
• Riboflavin: Helps produce energy in all cells of your body.
• Niacin: Helps enzymes function normally in your body.
• Vitamin B12: Works closely with folate to make red blood cells,
and plays a key role in cell growth and division,
helps keep nerves healthy.
FAT FACTS!
Your body needs fat. Fat helps our body absorb vitamins, protects vital organs,
and provides energy. But not all fats are created equal. Some are better for your
health than others, and sometimes we eat too much of the unhealthful types. The
following will give you an idea of the different types of fat found in food.
UNSATURATED FATS are HEALTHY, your body needs these.
• They lower your risk for heart disease.

• These fats come from plants and some fish.
• They are liquid at room temperature and we usually call them
“oils.” Oils high in unsaturated fats or “good fats” include:
canola, safflower, soy, olive, corn and fish oil.
• There are different kinds of unsaturated fats:
look for words like polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat on the food
nutrition label.
SATURATED FATS are UNHEALTHY in large amounts, eat less.
• These fats may increase your risk for heart disease.

• They are solid at room temperature.
• They are found most often in animal products such as:
red meat, butter, cheese, whole milk, bacon, sausage, and
the skin of chicken, turkey and duck.
TRANS FATs are UNHEALTHY in any amount.
• They may increase your risk for heart disease.

• Trans fats are made by changing liquid oil into a solid.
• Shortening and some margarine are high in trans fat:
Look for words like HYDROGENATED or PARTIALLY
HYDROGENATED OIL in the ingredient list on the food nutrition label to
see if trans fats are in the food.
• Trans fats are a common ingredient in commercial baked goods like:
cookies, crackers, cakes, and fried foods like donuts and chips.
FAT FINDERS

Dairy foods in Many Forms

Directions: In each box, draw
or glue pictures of different
DAIRY foods. Then circle the
food that would be the
healthiest choice.
Where DOES Milk Come From?
Yes, MILK comes from cows, but do you know how cows make
milk and how it gets into milk cartons for us to drink?
Directions: Read the information below and draw a line to each
picture that matches the description.
Cows eat nutritious grass and processes

it through four stomachs to get the
vitamins and minerals it needs to
survive and make milk.
Once the cow has a calf, or baby cow,

it produces milk to feed her baby. Sometimes
a farmer will milk a cow with his hands
to get the milk.
Dairy farmers use a special machine

called a suction to get milk from the cow.
Once the cow is milked, all the milk

is put into a big truck. The truck then
takes the milk the factory.
At the factory, the milk is cleaned and put

into milk containers or used to make
other dairy foods.
The milk containers and other dairy foods

are then taken to the store for people to buy.
People buy healthy dairy foods because

they know the vitamins and minerals
in those foods are good for them.

Many of the nutrients in dairy products are good for the body, but not all dairy products are
the same; some are healthier than others! Dairy products that have less saturated fat and
less sugar are better for the body.

Saturated Fat in Dairy Products

Eating Calcium-dense non-fat or low fat dairy products is important to
help create and maintain a strong healthy skeleton, while keeping the
circulatory system clean of fatty deposits caused by too much
saturated fat.
To see saturated fat in a variety of dairy products, follow the directions below.
Directions:
Step 1:
• Using your finger, place one drop of each dairy product in the center of each
square. Put aside and wait.
Step 2:
• Study the results of your experiment and measure the “Fat Stain” around the diary product
drop.
• Touch the stain and determine whether you can feel the difference in the fat deposits between
the high fat and low fat dairy products.

Review:
The distance around a circle is called the circumference. The distance across a circle
through the center is called the diameter. (3.14) is the ratio of the circumference of a
circle to the diameter. Thus, for any circle, if you divide the circumference by the diameter,
you get a value close to . This relationship is expressed in the following formula:
where is circumference and is diameter. You can test this formula with your fat
stains. If you measure the circumference and the diameter of the stain and then divide
by , your quotient should come close to . Another way to write this formula is:
where · means multiply.
The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. If
you place two radii end-to-end in a circle, you would have the same length as one diame-
ter. Thus, the diameter of a circle is twice as long as the radius. This relationship is ex-
pressed in the following formula: , where is the diameter and is the radius.
Circumference, diameter and radii are measured in linear units, such as inches and centi-
meters. A circle has many different radii and many different diameters, each passing
through the center. A real-life example of a radius is the spoke of a bicycle wheel. A 9-inch
pizza is an example of a diameter: when one makes the first cut to slice a round pizza pie
in half, this cut is the diameter of the pizza. So a 9-inch pizza has a 9-inch diameter. To find
the circumference of a circle use = 3.14 to simplify your calculations.
In short: The diameter of a circle is twice the radius. Given the diameter or radius of a cir-
cle, we can find the circumference. We can also find the diameter (and radius) of a circle
given the circumference. The formulas for diameter and circumference of a circle are listed
below. We round to 3.14 in order to simplify our calculations.

Learning About the Heart

Put your hand over your heart. The thump—thump you are feel-
ing is your heart pumping blood through tubes called arteries and
veins! Arteries and veins are very important because they help deliver
nutrients to every part of your body, helping your muscles and organs
work properly. Sometimes the arteries get clogged from eating too
much saturated fat!
Saturated fat is found in dairy products and in red meats. People

who eat a lot saturated fat may develop partially clogged arteries caus-
ing their heart to work REALLY hard. That is why it is important to eat
foods that contain healthier fats found in foods like fish and nuts.
What food group do fish and nuts belong in? ___________________

Arteries and Saturated Fat!
A powerful organ in the body is the heart muscle. It’s job is to pump oxygenated
blood throughout the body through pipe like structures known as arteries. It is im-
portant to maintain a healthy diet to keep these arteries clean and free of fat depos-
its that can develop from a diet high in saturated fat.
Saturated Fat is found in red meat and dairy products. Too much saturated fat is
not good for the body, so it is important to choose foods lower in saturated fat.
Low-fat protein foods include fish, chicken, or non-fat dairy products.
Directions:
To understand how important is to maintain clean arteries by eating low fat foods,
follow the directions below to create a simulated clogged artery.
Step 1:
• Cut a two straws in half lengthwise
• In one straw, put a THIN line of white glue down the center of it.
• Do not put glue in the other straw.
• Let the glue dry.
Step 2:
• Glue the straws “arteries” on the next page in the correct areas.

Dairy Products & Chemical Reactions!

In nature and in a laboratory, chemical reactions sometimes take place be-
tween two substances in which new material is formed. In some cases it is difficult, if
not impossible, to get substances back in their original form. A chemical change can
occur by mixing two or more materials, or by simply changing the temperature of one
substance.
Chemical changes happen around us everyday. For example, when you eat
food, the enzymes in your mouth, stomach and small intestines break down the food
into microscopic pieces the body can absorb. Once the food is broken down by the en-
zymes in your body, it would be in impossible to put the food back in it’s original
form. Some other examples of chemical reactions are:
Sugar + Heat = Caramel
Iron + Water = Rust
Yeast + Water = Carbon Dioxide
Some chemical reactions are more noticeable than others. Today, you are going to
conduct 2 experiments that will result in a chemical reaction.
Experiment 1: Milk + Vinegar = Curds
Needed Materials: 1/2 cup of Whole Milk, 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1 spoon, 1 bowl
Directions:
1. Pour the 1/2 of milk into the bowl
2. Slowly pour the 1/4 cup of vinegar into the milk
3. Observe the reaction. Gather the curds with the spoon to observe closely.

Dairy Products & Chemical Reactions!

Review: When milk is taken directly from the cow, it is quite watery with clumped fat
particles. It is then taken to the factory and pasteurized (cleaned) to eliminate germs.
It is also homogenized at the factory which means the clumped fat particles are bro-
ken down to give the milk a smooth texture and taste. However, throughout this proc-
ess, the fat from whole milk is not extracted unless it is going to be made into a
healthier low-fat or non-fat dairy product. Complete the experiment below to see how
much fat is in reduced-fat milk.
Experiment 2: Reduced-fat Milk + Liquid Soap = Energy & Separation
Needed Materials: 1 cup of Reduced fat milk, 1 teaspoon of liquid soap,

food coloring, toothpick, bowl
Directions:
1. Pour 1 cup of reduced fat milk into the bowl
2. Squeeze one drop of food coloring into the milk
3. Dip toothpick into the liquid soap
4. Carefully dip toothpick into the food coloring and milk.
5. Observe the chemical reaction.

The chemical reaction you observed between the milk and liquid soap was
due to the soap separating fat particles from the water and nutrients in the milk. The
food coloring helped you view the chemical reaction that took place. As the fat par-
ticles separated, the food coloring moved and swirled about!
This chemical reaction is very similar to what happens in your body. Instead
of liquid soap, the bile your stomach breaks the fat into small particles enabling the
body to absorb it, use for energy, and/or store it.
Directions: On another page, write a paragraph explaining what a chemical reac-

tion is and give some other examples of chemical reactions that take place every
day.
