Landfill experiment

Room 3 has decided to create their own lanfills to see what actually happens to the rubbish we throw away.  We made them today putting in the objects you can see in the photos.  We will then water them each day and watch to see what happens.


A variety of rubbish to decompose

Oh gross!!! food scraps to be cut up

Covering with dirt to start the rotting process

  1. Way to go room 3. What a fab experiment.
    Does anyone know what is the name of the gas that is released into the air from the rotting rubbish? And what is the name of the liquid that leaks into the soil?
    Look forward to your answers.

  2. This looks so interesting! Has anything happened yet, or is this a long term project?
