Rapid Trash Assessment
The Rapid Trash Assessment lesson teaches students how trash and pollution affect the environment. Students will create a model watershed to observe how water carries pollutants to local waterways. Then a trash survey is conducted to assess the types and amounts of litter and consider the impacts on the environment. Students will identify patterns and discuss possible solutions to limit the amount of litter in the environment.
