What do we mean by Recycling? - Worksheet

The worksheet on recycling is an educational tool designed to engage children in understanding the concept and importance of recycling. It begins by prompting students to watch an informative video that explains recycling facts and its significance for the environment. The worksheet then encourages children to consider the number of bins they have at home, their specific uses, and to discuss these questions with a partner. This activity aims to make students aware of the different types of waste segregation and the purpose of having various bins for items such as general waste, recyclables, and organic matter.

Furthering the lesson on recycling, the worksheet instructs groups of approximately four students to investigate the litter bins located around their school. They are tasked with understanding the rationale behind the placement of these bins and to assess whether additional bins are needed in other areas. Using a map of the school, students mark the existing bin locations and discuss the adequacy and strategic placement of these waste receptacles. This practical exercise helps pupils to apply the concept of recycling to their immediate environment, fostering a sense of responsibility and encouraging thoughtful consideration of waste management and recycling practices within their school community.
