Drawing/Sketch Notes:
Questions:
1. How does what you saw at the landfill, material recovery facility, or water reclamation plant
relate to conservation of energy?
2. What type of energy is the biggest byproduct of the landfill? The material recovery facility? The
water reclamation plant?
3. How does what you saw at the landfill relate to entropy?
4. Can you make any other connections between what you learned today and anything else you
have learned in physics? Describe those connections.
5. Is there anything you can do at home or at school to reduce the negative impacts you and other
people have based on what you saw today?
