Description

Class Experience

Join me in this environmental science recycling adventure where kids get to make a difference! 
Students will learn the importance of a having a healthy environment, participate in a week long recycling project, and reuse an item with a craft.

Class 1: 
Welcome! We will start with introductions- names and one thing students love about our earth! We will jump into the importance of keeping our Earth clean and healthy. Some examples will be soil health for growing food, keeping habitats clean...

Students will be introduced to the 3 R's; reduce, reuse, recycle. 
Students will learn some basic environmental issues (soil health, habitat health).
Students will work together to develop a plan for their recycling project including the design of their bin.

Students will spend the week recycling items that are used in the home. They do not need to recycle every single item, but can if they wish.

One large box
Crayons, markers, colored pencils, anything to color with!  
Paint and paintbrush (optional) 
Items for decorating: pompoms, glitter, yarn or ribbon 
Glue, tape 
Scissors 

From recycling project (2-3 items):

Glass jars 
Plastic food containers

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
