Students collect waste items from school and make them “come alive.” Students will develop a creative biography for their garbage buddy, and learn what the item can be recycled into after it is collected.

Students will learn about the concept and importance of recycling. Students will encourage peers to recycle by creating posters to be displayed around the school.

Learners will determine the properties of everyday objects through a variety of hands-on activities. Students will use this information to help them understand how recycling works through a “cut and paste” activity.

Students participate in an exciting relay race to learn how to sort waste properly. Students will also learn why waste materials are sorted based on what they are made of.
