Lesson Summary
In this students will investigate how a landfill site works. They begin the activity by experimenting with materials used to aid or prevent water movement through a landfill site. They then build a three dimensional model that will show how a landfill works, how it is constructed, the layers in a landfill, the key structures and features of a landfill, how rubbish is added to a landfill and how it is rehabilitated after the landfill site is full.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand that landfill is a site for burying solid waste
- recognise that there are different ways of preparing and constructing a landfill site to minimise environmental harm
- understand that there are a range of environmental and social risks and benefits involved with landfill sites
- recognise the value in using a 3D model to represent the structure and issues of a landfill site.
