This is a resource about fertility research on cattle raised in northern Australia. It consists of a unit of work and two data sets from the Belmont Research Station in Queensland presented as spreadsheets. The unit of work supports students to understand the important role research and data gathering play in improving cattle production. Students are guided through a stepped process to interrogate data sets collected from research studies and to understand the findings retrieved. The unit culminates in an assessment task where students make a presentation on one aspect of the Belmont research. The unit also provides a glossary and list of references in addition to background information, pedagogical advice and a list of online resources for teachers and detailed assignment sheets for students.
