The Let's-Read-And-Find-Out Science series is composed of a myriad of different topics introducing children to how different aspects of the world work. This one deals with the process of garbage disposal and recycling in Western society. It gives a detailed, interesting description of how landfills are formed and used, and the best feature of the book is probably the simplified models of glass, aluminum and plastic recycling processes. It is illustrated in an adequately detailed, fairly simple s...more
This is a wonderful book that talks about trash and the proper place for it. I would use this book during the engage part of a lesson on recycling for third graders. After reading the book I would have the students bring in diffefrnt articles of trash. We would use this trash in an activity. In the activity I would have a grocery bag.I would have the students place the trash in teh grocery bag. After a while the trash would begin to overflow and fall onto the floor. I would observe to hear the s...more
Where Does the Garbage Go? By: Paul Showers ISBN: 0-613-01320-4,1994.
Children learned that years ago all garbage was thrown into the same bag including food waste, cans, bottles, and newspapers. In the dump there were piles of garbage everywhere! Now most people recycle their bottles, cans and newspapers and their garbage goes to a landfill. A place that spreads the waste then covers it with soil. What can you do to help the environment?
**Another great book to share for Earth Day!

This book describes many different ways that garbage can be taken care of. It also stats a way that you can save garbage and reuse things, such as paper.
This ia a colorful and useful book. The text is very easy to read but yet interesting. Along with the digrams and interesting pictures this can be a very informational book for young readers. Using this book might encourage kids to recycle to save the earth.

This book teaches students about what the environment was like before recycling. The book also has a graft and incorporates other numbers that would be good to integrate mathematics. At the end the children in the story come up with ways that they can help the environment. Allow the students to brainstorm their own ideas of how they can help preserve the environment.

This is a very simple primer about how we process garbage and different ways to recycle. It's informative without being too preachy and the narrative is simple enough for young elementary school-age children. The illustrations are colorful and are useful to depict the processes by which we dispose of and transform garbage. We enjoyed reading this book together.
Teaches kids about recycling and so much more. Really goes into detail of where garbage goes and the different methods used to get rid of the garbage. I think there is so much kids can learn from this book that will help them understand recycling and why it's important.

Where Does Garbage Go? is a great supplement for early elementary units on waste, recycling, and conservation. My first graders particularly enjoyed the illustrations of the recycling factories. We spent a long discussion exploring why certain materials need to be chopped up, heated, or mixed with water to break them down and repurpose them. My students can't yet read the text on their own but took responsibility for the picture captions and character comics. They will be able to walk themselves...more
I really like this book. It doesn't make you feel guilty like some books along these lines, but definitely inspires you to do more. It explains everything objectively and is pretty fascinating (for someone who doesn't know a lot - like me).
Great for grades k-3, this book is a detailed description of the process of trash. Through waste, recyclable products, what types etc. I thought this book was interesting and would help third graders have a better understanding of garbage. For this lesson I decided to read the children this book and then do an activity which required children to sort trash! (no worries, this wasn't real trash, I made it trash! :)) They loved it and made the reading more enjoyable.
This book was informative about where do garbage go and how to recycle. Students would be able to relate to this book possibly because they may recycle at home and other students may start.
This book is about the process of trash. It describes waste, recycling, and more. This would be a good book for a third grade lesson on garbage and sorting trash.
Good book to read on earth day or for a recycling discussion. It gives great information of where the garbage goes and why it's important to recycle.
Where Does the Garbage Go? is a wonderful book that teaches students about the environment and recycling. As a class we can do a lesson where they can create ways to help the environment! I would use this book for kids in grades k-2rd.
Informative about what happens to trash and recycling for kids. Good illustrations of landfills to motivate reducing, reusing & recycling.
This whole series of books is great. They do a good job of explaining science to kids, and I find them interesting, too!
A good little science book to inform students about what happens to our trash after we throw it away.
loved the accurate details in an engaging story.
Excellent explanation of what trash is and where it goes. Shows landfills, incinerators and recycling processes. Great illustrations showing the processes. Will be dated: speaks of recycling as a new thing. In most of the US mandated recycling has been in practice for some time now.
This is a great book to use when talking about trash, landfills, and recycling. I read this to a group of third graders and it really helped extend their knowledge in landfills and where trash really goes.
For kindergarten children, I would use this book in the classroom to explain to children what is waste and when they throw something in the trash can, illustrate to children the process it takes to get recycle.
Good way for little ones to wrap their heads around those kind of questions.
