Inquiry about curriculum

Hello, I am a public charter school teacher who is trying to increase the amount of local investigations my chemistry students do with local \\"waste\\" issues in Rhode Island. I have struggled with finding curriculum resources that will meet the needs of my students and I was wondering if you could recommend or share any resources. Thank you very much for this post and your time.
