Animal Nutrition: How Cows Eat Grass (and why we can’t)

Save this idea for later!

Today, I’m sharing with you a mini animal nutrition unit study that I made. This cow unit study is all about how a cow’s digestive cycle works. In this thematic unit, you will learn all about the four chambers of a cow’s heart, why cows can eat grass, why humans can’t, and all of the basic parts that a cow uses to digest grass and the other foods it eats.

Save these files to your computer then print them for each child who will be completing the study. After going over the information together, have each child fill out the worksheet. This animal nutrition unit study should take about an hour to complete.

Use this study as a jumping off point to learn more about cows and other farm animals. Monkey is big into animal science and would spend months learning about various animals if we had time!

Use these additional resources to learn more about a cow’s digestive system. The model is really cool! I love using tools meant for college students in our homeschool. We learn so much more that way!

About Brenda Priddy

Brenda grew up thinking she hated science.

But when her 4-year- old daughter was more interested in reading science facts than fairy tales, Brenda realized she had to learn more about science to keep up with her daughter.

Through simple at-home science experiments, Brenda developed a passion for science and now acts as an advocate for STEM education for kids at her website STEAMsational.com.
