Activities for Elementary Schools

Out of sight, out of mind, that is how we think (or don't think) about garbage. The Too Good To Waste PowerPoint Presentation with accompanying script and Homework Assignment are geared toward curriculums for grades 4 to 6.

The presentation provides teachers and students with facts about garbage, what it is and where it goes, along with practical pointers on how to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle their way to waste free living.

There are a wealth of classroom activities on energy conservation to be found at the Learning for A Sustainable Future web site. In addition, visit Educational Resources for Larraine Roulston's "Pee Wee" novels on Vermicomposting in the Classroom.
