grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:06:31 UTC

What pieces of trash in our classroom could we upcycle?

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:07:02 UTC

What would happen if we put everything in one recycling bin?

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:07:29 UTC

What do the 3 R's stand for? What do they mean?

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:07:51 UTC

What is your favorite part of this word wall?

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:08:55 UTC

Carpool and use bikes

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:35:42 UTC

Carpooling and using bikes can help by reducing the number of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere.

Plant Trees

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:36:16 UTC

Trees give off oxygen that we need to breathe.

What are landfills?

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:38:14 UTC

Landfills are sites that are designed to dispose of rubbish, garbage, and other sorts of solid waste.

Why Recycling is better than landfills

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:42:40 UTC

When landfills are used and decomposed methane gas is released. This is a huge contributor to climate change. Recycling is a quick and easy way to keep materials that decompose slowly out of landfills

Decompose/ Descomponer

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:42:55 UTC

When organic material breaks down from big pieces into tiny/microscopic pieces that can be used to help other life grow.

climate change/ Cambio Climático

grcomito — 2023-11-07 17:43:03 UTC

The long-term changes in global temperatures and other characteristics of the atmosphere.

landfills/ Vertederos

grcomito — 2023-11-08 19:43:38 UTC

Sites that are designed to dispose of garbage and other types of solid waste.

Environment/ Ambiente

grcomito — 2023-11-08 19:44:15 UTC

All the physical surroundings on Earth are called the environment. The environment includes everything living and everything nonliving.

Litter/ Basura

grcomito — 2023-11-08 19:45:12 UTC

Litter is trash that ends up on the ground or in lakes and seas, and that shouldn't be there.

Compost/ Compost

grcomito — 2023-11-08 19:45:30 UTC

Compost is a mixture of ingredients used as plant fertilizer to improve soil's physical, chemical, and biological properties. It is commonly prepared by decomposing plant and food waste, recycling organic materials, and manure.

Impact/ Impacto

grcomito — 2023-11-08 19:46:30 UTC

Impact can be defined as a marked effect or influence on a particular environment.

Pollution/ Contaminación

grcomito — 2023-11-08 19:47:45 UTC

Pollution happens when the environment is contaminated, or dirtied, by waste, chemicals, and other harmful substances.

Protect/ Proteger

grcomito — 2023-11-08 19:48:01 UTC

Protection refers to keeping something or someone safe. We can do our part and recycle to help protect the environment.

Habitat/ Hábitat

grcomito — 2023-11-08 19:48:08 UTC

A habitat is a place where living things naturally live and grow. Habitats provide them with the food, water, and shelter they need.

Atmosphere/ atmósfera

grcomito — 2023-11-08 20:21:43 UTC

Earth's atmosphere is a jacket of gases that surrounds our planet. It keeps us warm, gives us oxygen to breathe, and it is where our weather happens.

Scientific and Engineering Practices

grcomito — 2023-11-08 20:58:29 UTC

_1._{Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information}

_{Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information in K–2 builds on prior experiences and uses observations and texts to communicate new information.}

_{Communicate solutions with others in oral and/or written forms using models and/or drawings that provide detail about scientific ideas.}

Students will create posters with the teacher on what reuse, reduce, and recycle mean.

Cross Cutting Concepts

grcomito — 2023-11-08 20:58:48 UTC

_{For another activity, students will go outside of the school and pick up trash and log how much trash they pick up. Then the teacher can discuss the effect of trash on the environment.}

Disciplinary Core Ideas

grcomito — 2023-11-08 20:59:13 UTC

Students will do this worksheet and when they do it can help the students see how they can make choices that positively affect the environment and what choices negatively impact the environment.

Extra Activity

grcomito — 2023-11-08 22:07:09 UTC

Students make pencil holders out of empty toilet paper rolls to see how fun upcycling can be.
