Description:
Students will learn about what materials are recyclable, how they are recycled and how this benefits the environment by visiting a local recycling center. Students will then work together collecting scientific data in order to design a recycling program for their school and then present their findings and ideas to the school principal. Through the collection and presentation of data, students will sharpen their mathematics, science and English skills. At the end of the semester, students will demonstrate their knowledge through presentations to the community, family members, school staff and other classes.
