UNIT: Wastewater Context for Matter and Its Interactions
LESSON: Poop to Power
Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students are shown how the methane gas released in the digestion of sludge can be used as a fuel to power the treatment facility itself.
Suitable for Grades
8th Grade
7th Grade

Satisfies Academic Standards:
OSPI ESE 2: The Natural & Built Environment
MS-PS1-4 - Chemical Reactions
MS-PS1-6 - Thermal Energy
Sustainable System Focus:
Water

Scientific Principle(s)
- In chemical reactions can release or absorb energy
Application
- The methane released in the digestion of waste is burned in a co-generation facility to supply some of the power need to run the wastewater plant
The wastewater plant saves thousands of tax dollars every year by generating electricity for the human waste it processes
