Grade 3 Science · World 7: Earth Keepers · Level 50
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Sort materials to recycle, and choose ways to reduce and reuse.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 50
- Three R's help protect plants and animals: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
- Reduce means use less, so there's less to throw away. Print on both sides of the paper!
- Reuse means use something again, maybe in a new way. An old jar can hold pencils.
- Recycle means turn used things into new material: cans become new cans, and newspaper becomes new paper. Food scraps can be composted into rich soil.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S3L2.b — Explore, research, and communicate solutions, such as conservation of resources and recycling of materials, to protect plants and animals.
