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. Which material is hard?
2. Which is a natural material?

Frequently asked questions

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.

Are renewable and non-renewable resources covered here?

In simple form, yes - resources that can be replaced, such as trees and water, compared with fuels and minerals that cannot. Detailed energy sources come later.

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.
