Assessment for Learning
• A variety assessment strategies have been incorporated into our virtual fieldtrip.
• To check students understanding throughout the fieldtrip we have included 6 multiple choice questions.
• We have also included a web quest investigation based on the content.
![Page 9: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815d0f550346895dcb0f44/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Assessment of Learning• Once students have completed the fieldtrip
they will need to demonstrate their understanding by completing two tasks.
• Task #1:- Students will need to develop an action plan for reusing, reducing, and recycling at home.Rubric
• Task #2:- Student will create an Animoto video to demonstrate their comprehension of the 3 Rs.

Because you said no, you have now given up all of your Phys. Ed classes and recess for extra math worksheets until the end of the year.
Do you want to change your mind?-Yes-No
![Page 18: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815d0f550346895dcb0f44/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I’m sorry, but because the world is headed for destruction,
saying no is not an option.
If you do not do something now there will be no future.
I accept my mission.

Reducing
We should always reduce first. This is because if we reduce what we use and what we waste that means we are using less energy and fewer natural resources. If we have less waste, that also means that less land is going to be put aside for landfills.
![Page 21: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815d0f550346895dcb0f44/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
You’re packing your lunch for school. What’s for lunch?
a) A sandwich in a plastic bag, a juice box, and a pack of individually wrapped cookies
b) A sandwich wrapped in plastic, a can of pop and a packaged granola bar
c) A sandwich in a reusable container, juice in a reusable bottle and a banana
![Page 22: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815d0f550346895dcb0f44/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nice job!
You definitely know how to reduce when packing a lunch
![Page 23: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815d0f550346895dcb0f44/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Whoops!Try that one again!
![Page 24: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815d0f550346895dcb0f44/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Here is a list of ways you can help reduce waste:
1. Put leftovers in reusable containers2. Pack your lunches in lunch bags or boxes instead of using paper
bags. Also by using plastic containers instead of waxed paper, sandwich bags or aluminum foil you will be cutting back on waste, and your food won’t get squished!
3. Use both sides of a piece of paper when you are doing your homework. This will make your paper last twice as long!
4. Get a library card, by using it books and magazines can be used many times by the whole community, instead of just you.
5. If you are buying a small item at a store, tell the cashier that you do not need a bag for it.
6. Get a library card and use it. Books and magazines can be used many
times by the whole community instead of just once by you. 7. After you buy a small item, take it home in your pocket. You do not
really need a bag.8. Buy in bulk, or get larger packages and then put the amount you
need in reusable containers. This will save you money and on the amount of packaging that has to be used. 9. Save energy by turning off tvs, radios, and lights when you are not using them.

• You’re in a store buying some new clothes because you’ve grown taller and nothing fits anymore. You see 10 new shirts that you like. What do you do?
a) Buy them all because you can never have to many clothes
b) Buy them all because you can always give them to your little brother or sister
c) Buy only what you really need

Congratulations! You have just obtained your ‘Reducing’
badge. You are now an expert on waste reduction and are on your way to becoming a Planet Protector!
Way to go!

ReusingReusing an item refers to using it twice, or even many times, instead of just once. This helps by keeping it from becoming waste.
Some ideas for reuse include using glass or plastic jars after they're empty, or taking a cloth sack to the store when you shop (you don't need a bag, and you can use the sack again the next time).
Take along washable cups or travel mugs instead of disposables; a lot of restaurants and convenient stores will be glad to fill or refill your own mug.
Save your old clothes for a garage sale or give them to a charity. If they are ripped or torn and cannot be repaired, then use them for cleaning rags (cut off and save the buttons first).
Use a hand towel for drying your hands and dish cloth or sponge for wiping up spills. They can be cleaned and used again instead of being used once and thrown away.

• You finish a carton of milk while having your morning cereal. What do you do with the carton?
a) Put it in the paper recycling
b) Make it into a bird feeder or some other crafty project
c) Put it in the trash bin

Reusing
When you do use disposables like plastic cups, plates, utensils, and plastic food storage bags, don't throw them away! Wash and reuse them!
When you decide to replace something large and "reusable", be sure to donate the old one to charities. Most of the time the item can be repaired by someone, and then given to others, instead of being put into landfills.
Hold a yard sale or give-away. And ask your neighbors to join in too -- this shares the work and increases the number of unused things that can find new homes and new uses
Use cloth gift bags and stop ripping the paper off gifts! If you remove the wrapping paper carefully, you can use it again, and there's nothing wrong with doing just that!
Don't forget to tell your mom or dad to use canvas or cloth bags when shopping so they don't need to make the choice between "paper or plastic."

• After school, your Mom makes you clean up your room. You find lots of clothes that don’t fit anymore. What do you do with them?

Recycling• Finally, there is recycling. This is when used items
are changed back into raw materials, to make new objects.
• This helps save energy, our natural resources and stops our landfills from becoming full.
• Things such as paper, notebook, playground equipment and carpet are all made from recycled material.
![Page 39: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815d0f550346895dcb0f44/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Recycling• Did you know that just about anything in your
home or school that you can’t reuse can be recycled into something else!? A t-shirt can be made from a recycled pop bottle, and one of your school text books might have started off as a phone book!
• You should never throw anything away that could be recycled!• This list shows some of the items that should always be
recycled (or even reused)– Aluminum cans (pop or soup cans)– Cardboard– Electronic equipment (like tv’s or computers)– Glass– Magazines and newspaper– Plastic bags– Tires
