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.
