How to use this worksheet

Split the sheet across two sittings, doing the pollution questions first and the 'what can we do' questions second, after a short walk outside. Noticing one real problem nearby makes the action questions specific instead of a list of memorised phrases.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Plastic is
2. Wool comes from

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.
