The students in the 5th grade have been presented with a real-world problem. Madison Elementary School has accumulated over 6,531 pounds of trash in a two week period but nothing is being done to reduce that amount. The teachers and administration have asked the 5th graders to brainstorm, research and collaborate to solve this problem and make a difference in the Madison school community.
