Teachers, save “Mystery Science - What do garbage trucks…” to assign it to your class.

1. What do garbage trucks do with garbage? 2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have? Bonus Activity: The best way to deal with garbage is to throw less stuff away! Think about things that you use just once and then throw in the trash. Maybe you thought of plastic spoons, plastic water bottles, or plastic bags from the store. What else can you think of? How could you replace these throw-away items with things you can reuse instead? Make a list or draw a picture of the throw-away things. Be sure to include your ideas of what you could use to replace them!
