Litter Pollution, Level 2. Teacher Guide. Operation Waste Watch.
Virginia State Dept. of Waste Management, Richmond. Div. of Litter & Recycling.
Operation Waste Watch is a series of seven sequential learning units which addresses the subject of litter control and solid waste management. Each unit may be used in a variety of ways, depending on the needs and schedules of individual schools, and may be incorporated into various social studies, science, language arts, health, mathematics, and artistic activities. Each unit consists of a teacher's guide, filmstrip-cassette set, activity cards, test materials, duplicating masters, and a poster. This document contains the teacher's guide and activity cards for the second-grade unit entitled "Litter Pollution." In this unit, students study the negative effects of littering: injury to humans and animals, environmental pollution, and wasted resources. In addition, they explore a littered area, study the characteristics of litter, and learn how to clean it up. Thirteen individual- and 14 class-activity cards are included. (CW)
