Where does our trash go?!

After learning about the importance of the 3 R's and that our trash goes to a landfill, a site where trash is BURIED, students looked more closely at the layers of a landfill and how they work. We studied text features such as diagrams and cross-sections to see the different layers. Then came the fun part! After drawing their own diagram of the layers, students got to build their own EDIBLE landfills. They sure were tasty!
