and Renewal—Teacher Edition

Most of us throw or flush things away every day without thinking about the
fact that there is no “away.” Whether or not discarded substances break down,
they affect our environment. By investigating the processes in wastewater treatment,
composting, landfilling, and bioremediation of contaminated sites, Decay and
Renewal teaches important science concepts within the context of environmental
issues. Using inquiry-based methods, the book focuses on biodegradation to help
students learn basic biological and ecological concepts.
