Open DashboardInvestigation 1 introduces students to volume, estimation and real-world measurement through their own classroom bin. Students compare their calculations with live smart-bin data and discover why real-world measurements are rarely as simple as they first appear.
Students measure the classroom bin and calculate its volume.
Students compare their measurements with the smart bin's height and investigate why the values differ.
Use the live dashboard to explore classroom data and begin conversations about waste reduction.
