This collection of activities is designed to engage students in exploring and understanding waste management, including solid waste, green waste, packaging waste, and litter. Students will conduct experiments, investigate life cycles, calculate and estimate usage, map litter, and develop communication plans to reduce waste and increase awareness. These activities are ideal for a flipped classroom, providing students with the opportunity to build their knowledge independently, freeing up class time for hands-on work and peer assessments.
