A Systems Perspective

4 Fifteen Minute Programs
Grade(s): Intermediate/Jr. High
Curriculum: Multidiscipline

The Land To Landfill curriculum integrates social studies, mathematics, science, language arts, home economics, and health and nutrition into one entertaining short series. The learning package contains videotape, computer based instruction, and interactive media projects to help students develop a systems perspective on the crucial topic of how we get our food, how we consume and dispose of it and the packaging, and deals with future food sources and questions. Although the videos are part of a learning package as described above, they are self-contained and can be used independently of any of the other components in the package.
