ELA Lesson: Non-Dairy Milk & Environmental Data
In this lesson, students evaluate whether non-dairy milk is an effective technological solution to the environmental impacts of dairy production. Using real nutrition and environmental data, they compare dairy and non-dairy options before making an evidence-based recommendation for their school cafeteria.

Inquire: Students share what they already know about dairy and non-dairy milk and make an initial prediction about which milk is least harmful to the environment.
Investigate: Students read an introductory article, analyze environmental and nutritional data, explore technologies designed to improve non-dairy options, and identify which alternative makes the strongest case for replacing dairy.
Inspire: Students use the data to create a flyer recommending a specific non-dairy milk for their school cafeteria, then share and compare recommendations as a class.
