http://www.dedham.k12.ma.us/webquest/spring2002/ss/recyclingwebquest.htm#process
This is a neat project for recycling. We will be doing the research and recording our Earth Tips (in drawings and writings with partners) in the computer lab as a class. Then we will be working with a partner to create an Earth Day poster to hang in the school showing 1 or more ways to help protect the earth. Finally we will be creating litterbug inventions out of recycled materials….finding a new use for old/used items…..and sharing with our tables.
This is neat because there is a recycling game that is interactive that the students can play and also learn about EACH type of recyclable and how it is recycled and reused….really neat! (Under 3. Recycling)

Class Bubble Map:
Doing a week long reading project for Reader’s Workshop or S.S…….each day read about a different way to help our earth….i.e. recycling, saving water, energy, alternative transportation, planting trees, etc.
Complete a bubble map where each day you fill in another bubble as a class with ways to recycle, save water, etc.

Create Recycled Inventions:
Using recycled items allow students to create an invention (or new way of using old items: i.e. bird feeder out of coke bottle, climbing toys for pets, etc.).
To extend this, students could create an advertisement for their invention including a slogan, price, description, etc.

resources
planet
recyling
endangered

(tune: If your happy and you know it.)
If you see a piece of litter pick it up
(Yell-PICK IT UP!!)
If you see a piece of litter pick it up
(PICK IT UP!)
You will make the world look better
if you pick up all the litter.
If you see a piece of litter, pick it up
(PICK IT UP!!)
If you see a piece of litter pick it up
(Yell-PICK IT UP!!)
If you see a piece of litter pick it up
(PICK IT UP!)
You will make the world look better
if you pick up all the litter.
If you see a piece of litter, pick it up
(PICK IT UP!!)
Oh, I put litter in the garbage can,Garbage can, garbage can.
I put the litter in the garbage can,
I'm not a litter bug
Let's all put litter where it belongs,It belongs, it belongs.
Let's all put litter where it belongs,Don't be a litter bug.
I put the litter in the garbage can,
I'm not a litter bug
Let's all put litter where it belongs,It belongs, it belongs.
Let's all put litter where it belongs,Don't be a litter bug.

We've been working on RECYCLING All the trash we can,We've been working on recycling, It's a very simple plan,Separate your glass and paper, Separate your plastic and tin.Take the trash that you’ve recycled To your recycling bin!
We've been working on REDUCING All the trash we can.We've been working on reducing It's a very simple planDon't go wasting any products, Use just exactly what you need.Don't buy things in extra wrapping, Reduce and you'll succeed!
We've been working on REUSING All the trash we can.We've been working on reusing, It's a very simple plan.If it's a paper bag you're using, Don't use it once, use it twice!Give old clothes and toys to someone, To reuse them would be nice!

Sung to: "Wheels on the Bus"
Dirty air can make us sick,
Make us sick, make us sick.
Dirty air can make us sick,
Here's what you can do.
Walk, bike, skate; it's good for you,
Good for you, good for you.
Walk, bike, skate; it's good for you,
And great for the air we breathe.
The people on a bus are helping our air,
Helping our air, helping our air.
The people on the bus are helping our air,
By not driving their cars
Dirty air can make us sick,
Make us sick, make us sick.
Dirty air can make us sick,
Here's what you can do.
Walk, bike, skate; it's good for you,
Good for you, good for you.
Walk, bike, skate; it's good for you,
And great for the air we breathe.
The people on a bus are helping our air,
Helping our air, helping our air.
The people on the bus are helping our air,
By not driving their cars
Car pool, car pool, it's cool to do,
Cool to do, cool to do.
Car pool, car pool, it's cool to do,
And thanks for helping too!
Cool to do, cool to do.
Car pool, car pool, it's cool to do,
And thanks for helping too!
