Students will watch the video clip to gain an understanding of what happens to our trash. Students will learn about recycling and decomposing and the types of materials associated with each. Students will write or draw the process of recycling to show what they have learned.
This activity was created as a result of the GAP Resource Development Summit.
This video uses the story of the Three Little Pigs to explain resources. Students will learn about human, natural, and capital resources.
This learning activity provides a reading passage about Earth Day, vocabulary support, and comprehension questions. The reading level is 2nd grade, so it is best to read the text aloud to the class instead of independent reading. This passage from ReadWorks will help students understand the meaning of Earth Day and why it is celebrated each year. Each year, Earth Day is celebrated in April. On Earth Day, millions of people will think of ways to stop pollution. They will talk about recycling and planting trees. People will look for ways to save energy and water.
