Don’t worry, going back to high school isn’t as terrifying as it sounds. In 2024, The Teaching Press created a classroom set of our favorite “foldie-outtie” book, Lower Fox River PCB Clean-Up Timeline, for students at East Appleton High School. In this exclusive interview, we had the chance to speak with environmental science teacher Ryan Marx about his plans to use this book as a teaching tool.
What made you want to use the Lower Fox River PCB Clean-up Timeline book for your classes?
I have been interested in PCBs ever since learning about the biomagnification of PCBs from Professor Bart Destasio at Lawrence University. When I heard about the book at the Fox River Symposium, I was eager to get it and share it with my students.
