This
lesson
is
designed
to
help
students
apply
the
pollution
prevention
(P2)
concept
to
household
hazardous
waste
(HHW).
HHW
includes
hazardous
materials
such
as
household
cleaners,
paints,
paint
thinners,
motor
oils,
gasoline,
and
pesticides
that
may
pose
a
threat
to
human
health
or
the
environment
if
they
are
not
disposed
of
properly.
HHW
poses
a
threat
because
it
is
toxic,
corrosive,
ignitable,

In
this
activity,
students
will
experience
the
excitement
of
discovery
and
problem-solving
to
learn
about
organisms
that
live
in
extreme
environments
in
the

allow
students
to
conduct
Internet
research
about
earthquakes
and
buildings
that
have
successfully
withstood
them,
design
and
build

using
an
earthquake
simulator
that
they
construct.

In
this
activity,
students
will
learn
what
causes
the
various
types
of
erosion
that
have
formed
our
Earth
as
it
is
today
and
how
different
surfaces
erode
differently.
The
students
will:
predict
the
outcomes
of
erosion
on
different
materials;
describe
ways
of
preventing
erosion;
and
recognize
erosion
and
predict
what
type
of
erosion
caused
it.
The

This
lesson
introduces
students
to
the
nature
of
earthquakes
and
volcanoes.
They
will
discover
how
earthquake
intensity
is
measured,
where
earthquakes
occur
(by
studying
real-time
data),
and
what
global
patterns
exist.
During
the
course
of
this
activity,
students
will
conduct
Web
research
and
collect
online
data
to
aid
in
understanding
the
experience
of
a
real
earthquake
through
reports
of
eyewitnesses
