Step 1 - Inquire: Students discuss their current knowledge about both the dairy and non-dairy industries and compare those predispositions to graphical data.

Step 2 - Investigate: Students deliberate about the perceived worth of non-dairy alternatives based on nutritional value before revisiting the graphical data to further compare the positive and negative aspects of each industry.

Step 3 - Inspire: Students create a flier promoting the inclusion of non-dairy alternatives in the cafeteria.
