What this worksheet teaches

• Identify things people do that help the environment and things that harm it.
• Explain why trees matter, including shade, air and homes for animals.
• Name everyday ways to save water and electricity at home and at school.
• Sort waste into materials that can be reused, recycled or thrown away.

How to use this worksheet

Do the sorting questions with real items if you can. Hold up a paper bag, a plastic bottle and a banana peel and let your child place each one. Deciding with an object in hand is easier than deciding from a picture, and the reason your child gives will tell you whether the idea of a material has clicked.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which is a natural resource?
2. What should we throw garbage into?

Frequently asked questions

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.

Does the worksheet need any craft materials?

No, pencil and paper are enough. Having a few household items nearby to sort makes the material questions easier but is entirely optional.
