The important outcome from the TCE Contamination and Clean-up Curriculum is for students to learn something about the community they live in and for them to gain an understanding of how people, who work together can, solve environmental problems.
The nature of science and technology, the role of community leaders and government, and the need to understand our world are the underlying themes threaded throughout the lessons.
It is hoped that new understandings in all these become apparent in the student’s finished products. You will know the students have “gotten it” when they voice questions wondering what we, as a community, are doing presently that might be found to be harmful to our surroundings in the future!
