Field trips for grades 7-12 can be tailored to align with your classroom content or special projects. Tours include:
Discussions can involve landfill biology, resource recovery and conservation, environmental impacts of waste management, cultural connections to waste, Frederick County's landfill history and future and more. Up to 1 full bus-load can participate in a tour. We encourage teachers to also combine a trip to our site with nearby facilities, such as the Montgomery County waste-to-energy plant or recycling sorting center.
Field trip content is suitable for secondary grade level students only.
For more information, contact Paul Varga at 301-600-2960 or send an email.
We can tailor our discussion to support your existing lesson plans or help plan new content! Presentations might take the form of an interactive PowerPoint slideshow, a hands-on paper making lab, or a STEM event display. Students and teachers are also invited to tour our facilities to gain firsthand knowledge. Our goal is to help you and your students make textbook knowledge more meaningful through application to local issues.
