District collects soda bottles for science
The Everett School District is launching a two-liter soda bottle drive.
Almost 2,300 bottles are needed to stock science kits for the district’s 17 elementary schools. Students use the bottles to create ecosystems.
“Each year we end up buying some bottles full of soda at the last minute, then draining them to get enough building blocks for the eco-columns,” said Shirley Maynard, who is in charge of the science kits.
Bottles, including caps, should be rinsed. They can be dropped off at any Everett elementary school. The district is willing to pick up large numbers of bottles. To arrange a pick-up, call 425-385-4676.
Students create ecosystems by placing soil, gravel, rocks, twigs, alfalfa, grass, algae, pond snails, fish, crickets and bugs in bottles.
Students design pollution experiments for ecosystems that do not contain animals and they speculate how pollutants might affect ecosystems with animals.
