Reduce, reuse, recycle for wildlife

This resource is designed to teach students about the importance of waste management and how our everyday actions can positively impact the planet. This engaging activity encourages students to think critically about how they handle household waste and introduces them to the three Rs: reducing waste, reusing items, and recycling where possible.  

 

Students are prompted to decide how to dispose of common household items, with guidance provided to help them make informed choices. By understanding how each step in the waste process helps conserve resources, students can actively participate in protecting the environment and the species that depend on it. 

 

This resource helps instil environmentally responsible habits in students, encouraging them to consider the life cycle of products they use and how small actions can collectively make a significant difference. By integrating this activity into lessons, teachers can reinforce the importance of sustainability, making it both a practical and impactful addition to science education.
