Today, you will build a model of a sanitary landfill. Use page 485 as your guide. There are projects from last year to use as well.
Before you can build you need to write:
Introduction -- a good intro includes:
Introduction -- a good intro includes:
- A purpose statement (Look to the LO)
- Three supporting details (Remember to cite your text...According to...)
- A hypothesis that logically follows the details (look at the rubric for how to write this)
A materials list (look at the model)
A procedure (make sure your layers are right!)
A couple of important things to consider:
- you need to use a probe and the burner in the back of the room (vent hood) to make holes in your bottle lid.
- you need to 10 mL of water in the bottom for groundwater.
- you need to put 5 drops of dye on top to prove that you don't have any leachate leakage.
