Recycling Plastics Part 2 | Interactive Science Lesson | Micro-Learning Deck

Recycling Plastics Part 2 is an informative science lesson designed to engage middle school students. This interactive micro-learning deck focuses on the process and importance of properly recycling different types of plastics. Students will watch an engaging video lesson explaining the recycling process for the most common plastic polymers. Next, they will read an informational passage with audio support about the numbering system used to classify plastics and why this is important for recycling. Students will then analyze the reading passage to reinforce comprehension. Finally, they will complete a quick write assignment to reflect on what they learned. This micro-lesson hits key environmental science standards while keeping students interested through multiple modalities like video, reading, and writing. It can be used in whole-group instruction or assigned individually at students' own pace.
