There's something rotten in America—and it's the trash! The average American creates 4 pounds of trash every day, and while that may not sound like a lot, it adds up to more than 200 million tons of waste every year (enough to fill the entire Busch Stadium two times a day, according to the EPA). All that trash poses an obvious problem: where to put it. And as the United States' trash is shipped to its southern states, and around the world, it's clear that the problem has yet to be solved. The best solution in the long term is to make less trash. Not only will making less trash keep our environment cleaner, but it can save the average American household thousands of dollars every year. Read on to learn some of the easiest things you can do to reduce your waste and simplify your life.

Now here is one that most of us have had around at some point in our lives. This is the Giant Microbes Original Flu Orthomyxovirus. Before you ask, they do not make a 'man flu' version of this because that would be really really bad and any guy who has had man flu knows what I am talking about. But for now, this is the normal cute and cuddly flu virus versionHe doesn't look like much does he? But this little cretin packs a punch and once he is inside you then you are in for a really bad ride.This can make you really poorly, sometimes for up to a month or six months if you are a guy!!But, did you know that 5 to 40% of the population catch flu at sometime in their lives. Fortunately most of us get over it but don't let that cute little cuddly face fool you. This can be a killer, especially in the elderly and the young.This would be a great used as a learning tool or to promote flu awareness.

Sometimes teaching about plants can be difficult to make it hands on without an actual plant. Sometimes, as much as I wish I did, I just don't have a green thumb. That doesn't stop me from finding some way to make it engaging and hands-on for the kiddos! One way that I do this is by teaching children about the life cycle of plants. When I teach about the life cycle, we take a pause and discuss pollination. I pull out the cotton balls, cupcake cups, and kool-aid packets! I provide each pair with theses materials and a cotton swab. The cotton ball represents the flower of the plant, while the kool-aid is the pollen. I use different colors of kool-aid so students can see that actual transfer of the "pollen" from one "flower" to another. The cotton swab (as the bee) transfers it from one flower to another. This engaging and hands-on science lesson is available for you to download free here at my teachers pay teachers store. It comes complete with the lesson outline and printables you need! Happy Teaching!

Photo Source: Rowan Frances Ever wonder if what we see influences our perceptions of taste? If you're interested in finding out the psychology behind color and food, this project is for you! The cool thing is, there are lots of variations to this particular project... Identifying Drink Flavors Education.com suggests doing the experiment with apple juice. Fill three containers with juice - 1) add red food coloring, 2) add green food coloring, 3) leave untouched. Have at least 20 volunteers test a sample of each - #1, #2, then #3 - and identify the flavor. Determine how many participants mis-identified the flavor to keep with the color. eHow.com suggests using club soda or Sprite/7-Up. Fill four containers, adding a different color of food coloring to each, and invite participants to identify the flavor. [NOTE: The order of samples tested doesn't matter as much in this experiment as it did for the apple juice. However, make sure the order is consistent from volunteer to volunteer.] Citrus Scramble eHow.com also recommends a fun fruit test using oranges and lemons. They invite you to test whether staging affects our perceptions of taste - by inviting participants to sit at a table adorned with oranges (some peeled, some not), blindfolding the volunteer, and switching out the orange slices to have them eat a slice of lemon instead. Jelly Bean Identification Science Fair Projects suggests using jelly beans to determine whether our eyes can fool our taste buds. Divide participants into two groups - in the first group, participants will see the samples they're consuming and report on the flavor, but in the second group, participants will be blindfolded as they eat each sample and identify the flavor. For the full project details, be sure to visit these great sites! While each experiment is great by itself, perhaps doing more than one will give you a more comprehensive look at color v. taste!
