Activity
For one day, rather than throwing away your trash, collect it in a plastic bag. You don't have to collect every last thing; just make sure you have four or five solid pieces. Then, click the Activity button to download the attached graphic organizer to help you track your trash.
Don't worry about having perfect answers. There's no need to research answers you don't know. Just guess! This activity is a starting point to see what you already know about your resources. Hang onto your worksheet, because you'll take another look later in this lesson.
If you aren't sure how to get started, click the Read Me button to see a few items one student has logged in his chart. But remember, there are no right or wrong answers!
