    Beef By-Products Source Relay

    Many students think products simply come from factories or stores. This hands-on activity helps students understand that before an item ever leaves a factory or enters a store, it begins as a resource or product in the natural world. More specifically, these products can all be traced back to one unassuming animal, the cow! In the Beef By-Product Source Relay, students will work in teams and run a relay race where they will quickly decide the source of a product and then race to place it into one of the buckets marked Factory, Farm, Store, Earth, or Cow.

Every year, researchers introduce dozens of new and improved varieties of fruits, vegetables, and other products. But as we walk through the grocery store, do we ever stop to think about where this incredible abundance and variety comes from? This book helps us understand the science that makes it all possible.
