Using Computers. Learning from Lunchroom Trash.

Ramondetta, June

Learning, v20 n8 p59 Apr-May 1992

Elementary teachers can help students consider how much trash they create by analyzing lunchroom waste. Students research the problem, brainstorm lists of items thrown away, and monitor the cafeteria, counting items and collecting data. They enter information into a spreadsheet which the class examines to search for alternatives. (SM)
