Interpret life cycle assessment information about materials or products. (WS 1.3, 4, 5)

Interpreting life cycle assessment (LCA) information involves analyzing data related to the environmental impacts of materials or products throughout their life stages. This includes understanding the extraction of raw materials, manufacturing processes, usage, and disposal. Students should be able to translate LCA data between graphical and numerical forms, using decimals, ratios, and percentages effectively. By interpreting this information, students can evaluate the sustainability of products and make informed decisions regarding resource use and environmental impact.
