In this hands-on activity, students learn how to recycle right, then create Recycling Helper posters with tips to teach others. Not only do they build recycling habits, but they also help the whole school do it better!
In the United States, the leatherback sea turtle is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Their population has declined by 70% worldwide in the past 15 years. Plastic pollution in the ocean plays a major role in this situation.
In this activity, students test their recycling knowledge with fun trivia questions to separate fact from fiction. Then, they turn their learning into action by creating a "Recycling: Fact or Fiction?" bulletin board to educate others and spark conversation in the school community.
