Hazardous Materials Investigations: The Barrel Mystery
Middle School Module
Hazardous Materials Investigations: The Barrel Mystery is a SEPUP module
designed for use in grades 6–12. The module contains a series
of 8 activities that provide approximately 3 weeks of instruction.
What happens when unidentified, hazardous wastes are left abandoned?
This module focuses on the physical and chemical properties of substances.
Students explore the contents of a barrel of simulated hazardous waste
as they learn to physically separate, test, and identify substances
in a mixture. They investigate different types of chemical hazards and
describe hazardous substances in the home. Students evaluate the trade-offs
involved in the transportation of hazardous materials as they create
a plan for transporting large amounts of hazardous waste from one area
to another. Students are assessed on their ability to analyze data.
Each module includes a Teacher’s Guide containing reproducible
student pages and a kit containing the equipment required to conduct
the activities with five classes of 32 students. The Teacher’s
Guide provides specific strategies to facilitate and assess student
learning.
