Valinda Wells on 03 May 11This project leads 5th through high school students through an investigation into the impact of junk mail. Students use math to calculate the amount of unwanted mail received and science to determine the amount of environmental impact on the environment caused by this mail. A benefit of this project is that a basic outline of activities is included. A pitfall is that quite a bit of class time would be required to complete this project.
