Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Worksheet

Help your K-3 students learn about reducing waste and taking care of our earth with this fun sorting activity! Students will cut out 15 pictures of household items, then sort and paste the 10 reusable items onto the reuse sheet, leaving the 5 remaining items out. This interactive lesson allows students to discuss reuse with partners, small groups or as a whole class. The post-activity answer key helps check understanding. Use it as an independent work, center activity, or science lesson to teach environmental consciousness. Extend learning by brainstorming other ways to reduce waste or making recycled art projects.
