This week in science class we will be learning about how important it is to the environment to recycle. Learning about recycling is a part of our science TEKS (the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills). Your child will be able to make wise decisions when it comes to conservation of resources and recycling certain items such as plastics, cans, paper, and glass.
Below I will be adding some internet sites that will be helpful for you and your child to explore recycling. At the following site Recycle City your child will learn about recycling, how reducing waste saves money, how Dumptown makes their city clean through recycling and where all our garbage goes. Also their is a game to play where your child is the City Manager and has to make the town clean through recycling.
At the Just for Kids website you will learn information about what reduce, reuse, and recycle mean, where your trash goes, how to reduce trash waste, what is a landfill, how they make energy from waste. Then you can play recycling games and do fun activities with recycling.
Finally at the Funschool site your child and you can play the game Clean Up Your World to clean up trash in a park. In this game your child will have to distinguish between plastics, paper, cans, and glass. It a fun game that will help them to tell the difference between different recyclables.
Have a great time learning with your children!
