As a result of this lesson, students will be able to understand hazardous chemicals and their effects; the importance of cleaning up these materials; identify hazardous waste sites in their own neighborhoods; and recognize the agencies responsible for environmental hazards. First, they will examine online materials and answer some questions, then split into groups and engage in a role-playing activity in which they play the parts of residents of Love Canal, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials, and owners of a chemical plant which has been leaking chemicals into the ground. There are also online extension activities in which students do a web search to investigate the environmental uality of their own neighborhoods and examine case studies of highly polluted sites.
