This is a "hands-on" unit that will develop and motivate students to become activists in making decisions that will affect them and the environment now and in the future. Students will be able to use their experience and previous knowledge in order to categorize junkyard objects as either household or industrial waste. Students will also become familiar with some forces of movement and complete various activities givng them ideas on how to create an invention.

Final Task: Students work in small groups to create an invention using recycled materials and present a model or an accompanying diagram to the class.
