How to use this worksheet

Environment questions land best when they point at your own home. As each answer is written, ask where that happens in your house - which tap drips, which light is left on. Grade 2 students remember a rule far better when it is attached to a room they walk through every day.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. What should we do with old paper?
2. Which of these is biodegradable?

Frequently asked questions

Will this frighten a sensitive child?

The tone stays practical and hopeful - mostly what we can do rather than what is going wrong - because Grade 2 students respond to actions they can take themselves.

Is this topic just about recycling?

No. Grade 2 environment worksheets cover saving water and electricity, litter, clean air and water, and the role of trees. Recycling is one part of a wider set of everyday habits.

My child says pollution is only smoke. How do I widen that?

Point out water pollution and litter as well. A blocked drain or a bottle in a park are things children can see, and they make the idea broader than chimneys and vehicles.
