We had a very fun time sifting through our classroom’s waste!  We had set up this experiment to find out how much waste we produce.  There was a lot of it after a week: Here are 2 graphs showing the results from our investigation.  From these results, what statements can you say about the waste we produce as a class?

How much of this waste could actually be recycled? 

If we produce this much waste over a week, how much would we produce over a term? 

How much waste can you estimate the whole school makes over a term?  What about a whole year?

What can we do about it?
