Imagine East Kindergarten students celebrated Earth Day by learning about landfills and how to reduce the amount of garbage we produce each day.
Miss Robyn, a Geologist with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, visited each kindergarten class and talked about how to decide if you can Reduce, Reuse, Recycle or Compost your daily garbage.
Students then made a model using chocolate syrup, licorice sticks, pudding and cookies to represent the various layers of a landfill. Ask a kindergartner about the clay, pipes, methane tubes, garbage and soil layers in a landfill!
It takes many hands to properly build a landfill!
Students in grades 5-8 are encouraged to attend Brain Link and MASH programs hosted by the Indiana University School of Medicine. The three-week programs will feature classroom and hands-on lab experiences in Science, Math, and Language Arts, as well as recreational activities.
The programs are designed to stimulate students’ interest in health care careers. More information, including registration forms, can be found by visiting http://faculty.medicine,iu.edu/offices/da/
