Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on conducting waste observation as part of a project for SMPN 113 Jakarta. It aims to enhance students' understanding of environmental issues and promote responsible waste management practices. By following these steps, students can effectively observe and analyze waste in their surroundings, contributing to a cleaner environment.

Step 1: Prepare for the Observation

Before starting the observation, gather necessary materials and plan your approach.

• Materials Needed:

  • Notebook or observation sheet
  • Pen or pencil
  • Camera or smartphone for photos (optional)
  • Waste categorization chart (e.g., organic, plastic, paper, metal)

• Planning:

  • Choose the location for observation (e.g., schoolyard, local park).
  • Set a date and time for the observation.
  • Determine the specific types of waste you wish to focus on.

Step 2: Conduct the Observation

Engage in a systematic observation of the waste in your chosen location.

• Observation Techniques:

  • Walk around the area and take notes on the different types of waste present.
  • Use your categorization chart to classify the waste you encounter.
  • Take photos to document specific examples of waste (if applicable).

• Be Mindful:

  • Observe the surroundings and note any patterns (e.g., areas with more litter).
  • Consider the sources of waste and potential impact on the environment.

Step 3: Analyze the Data

Once the observation is complete, analyze the collected data to draw conclusions.

• Data Review:

  • Review your notes and categorize the types and amounts of waste collected.
  • Identify trends (e.g., which type of waste is most prevalent).

• Discussion Points:

  • Discuss the potential reasons for the observed waste patterns.
  • Consider the implications for local environmental health and community practices.

Step 4: Present Your Findings

Share your observations and analyses with peers to promote awareness and action.

• Presentation Format:

  • Create a report or presentation summarizing your findings.
  • Use visuals such as charts or graphs to illustrate data.

• Engagement:

  • Present your findings to classmates or at school events.
  • Encourage discussions about waste management solutions and community involvement.

Conclusion

Conducting waste observation is an impactful way to engage with environmental issues and foster community responsibility. By following these steps, students can not only gain valuable insights into waste management but also inspire others to take action. Consider implementing solutions based on your findings, such as organizing clean-up events or awareness campaigns in your community.
