National Recycling Week - Investigating Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing

This unit describes various lessons that have been developed as part of the Schools Recycle Right Challenge for Planet Ark's National Recycling Week. The lessons cover topics such as collaborative consumption, testing beverage containers, investigating chemical changes in raw materials for manufacturing, and using an online periodic table to explore metals. The lessons are designed for a flipped classroom approach, where students watch videos to learn new content and then participate in hands-on activities. The lessons encourage students to take action in their school and community for National Recycling Week.
