Activities are built. The Fact Flashes stand alone and can be used to supplement your lessons in a number of ways. The Warm-Ups focus on developing and understanding some basic concepts related to hazardous waste. These exercises are designed to be presented by classroom educators in series or as preparation for related Activities. The Activities build on the Warm-ups, although they can stand alone.
Students examine issues related to hazardous waste and site cleanup.
The Activities are designed for presentation by classroom educators. Since some of the Activities take more than one class period, however, educators may wish to consider sharing the delivery with an invited guest, such as an EPA Superfund staff member or an employee of the state government s hazardous waste cleanup program. At the end of this document you will find several resources and supplements that can assist you in making the most of Haz-Ed or support your independent activities. The Glossary defines many of the terms and concepts students will encounter in the exercises and activities. You may consider providing your students with a copy for their general reference.
