H.L. Johnson Elementary School fifth-grade students recently went on a field trip to the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County to enrich their learning and understanding of the science standards about renewable and non-renewable energy. On the field trip, they had the opportunity to learn about how the SWA converts trash into energy. The students were able to tour the facility and see the boiler room in action with a giant crane that can hold up to 18,000 pounds of trash at one time.
