Description: Embedded within the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Social Studies is an opportunity to engage students in real-world problem solving. In this lesson, students will utilize this opportunity by applying the Geo-Inquiry process to investigate the impact of trash pollution on their campus or another selected site. In follow-up activities, students will explore the meaning of environmental stewardship through recycling practices and career exploration. Any part of this lesson can be adapted to best fit students’ needs and this activity includes cross-curricular opportunities which meet standards in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
