The Burlington Science Center presented and amazing interactive show titled, Our Trash, Our Choice
 |
| Students throughout Burlington schools are being asked to think about how our choices can help make a difference. |
 |
| We were taught to sort food waste, recycling and trash. The students have been motivated to reduce the amount of trash Memorial school disposes of daily. We are tracking the weight of our waste and are exploring the idea of a school compost. Awareness has already helped to reduce trash by 22 lbs. Scientific experimentation is all the buzz in room 177. We are learning about weather, patterns in seasonal weather and the benefit of forecasting weather.   |
