What this worksheet teaches

How to use this worksheet

Use your own bin as the demonstration. Look at what your family threw away yesterday, and ask which items could have been avoided, reused or recycled. Grade 3 students often know the recycling rules in theory but have never applied them to a real, mixed pile of rubbish.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. What is the source of all water on Earth?
2. Which of these is not a form of water?

Frequently asked questions

How do I answer 'why does it matter if only I do it?'

A fair question at this age. Multiply it: one person, one class, one school. Comparing one dripping tap with thirty makes the scale visible without a lecture.

Can this be used in class?

Yes. The action questions work well as a group discussion or a small class project, and the pollution questions work as individual written practice.

My child gives very short answers. Is that a problem?

At Grade 3, examiners look for a reason attached to the answer. Encourage the word 'because' in at least half the answers - that one habit lifts the quality of a whole page.
