What to do

Teacher organizes students into teams for scavenger hunts through Recycle City. This works especially well if there are fewer computers than there are stuents. Each team works together to find all the items in a list before the other teams do. Before beginning the assignment, create a list of items that need to be found, for example: Something made from recycled tires A way to use vinegar A use for old brinks Something made from old milk containers An electric car How coffee grounds can be reuse

Additional Information

Split up the class into several teams and let them go through the site, looking for items on the list. This will provide them with some incentive to browse around the site looking for items, and will spark discussions on where the items might be found.
