Our students will learn about issues of environmental pollution, as well as how they can help keep our school, community, and ocean free from trash and pollutions. Focusing on recycling, students will address issues around the world and come up with ideas on how they can take part in solving these issues within our community. Our students need various books and the “Earth and Environment Theme Box” to generate questions and find answers through research. In doing so, they will be evaluating and comparing information, as well as synthesizing that information, in their project.
Our students will collaborate and generate new ideas and solutions to make a positive impact on our community and environment. Students will create posters and service announcements to promote what they have learned. Students will be actively engaged in recycling plastic bottles and papers. They will use the caps to create magnets and use the plastic bottles to make planters and pencil holders. Students will also make stationery, using hand-made recycled papers. Our students need multiple colored Sharpies, tacky glue, acrylic paint/brushes, wiggly eyes, and mod podge to decorate their products. They also need scissors to cut the plastic bottles in half and the glue gun to attach magnets.
Teachers and students will collaborate across multiple grade levels, as they create a museum and display their projects for the entire school. By creating a museum of their learning and ideas, our students will inform the school community about the issues of pollution and what they can do to help our community. Our students will be selling their art products at a school event, and with the money raised, they will donate to an environmental nonprofit.
Our inquiry unit will serve to educate and encourage the community to do their part in taking care of the environment.
