Trash and garbage are all around us!  Children are fascinated by what is in the garbage can and often pick up trash against our wishes.  This study offers opportunities for children to explore a topic that interest them but allows them to gather information, become more aware of the world around them, and solve problems.  In this study, children will observe, gather data, explore their community, interview experts, and learn new information.  They will use skills in mathematics, literacy, the arts, and technology.
