Environmental Find

Aim: This is an activity to identify types of waste in the school yard.

Equipment: The equipment includes... 

  • "Environmental Find" sheet.

Method: Give every pair of students the "Environmental Find" sheet and ask them to work in pairs to draw or write an object they might or can find in the yard that should not be there (ie. rubbish).

Sheet: "Environmental Find"

Background knowledge: A discussion of waste and how we can reduce it in our backyards to school playgrounds can be useful. You could also collect a bag full of different things that are considered rubbish and classify them into (a) material that you could recycle, (b) material that can decompose; and (c) material that is truly waste alone.
