Full Description
What is waste? Where does it come from? What are we doing to clean it all up? These are essential questions for challenging times. "Our Waste Management" series takes a critical look at how we create and manage our waste, and what we can do to live in more environmentally friendly ways. Written for remedial students in grades 5 to 8, our resources examine important facts and issues such as: natural resources use, pre-and post-consumer waste, landfills, incinerators, smog, oil spills and space junk. Also covered are waste prevention, recycling and conservation. Also, inspire your students with success stories about waste management from across the globe. Reading passages, comprehension questions, hands-on activities and overhead transparencies are all provided. This title is designed for remedial education and with material the teacher can reproduce for student activity.
