Lesson objective(s): 1. Explain the concept of recycling and how it benefits our environment.
2. Distinguish between recyclable and non-recyclable items.
3. Independently come up with items you can or cannot recycle.
Differentiation/Accommodation strategies to meet diverse learner needs:
Reduced number of problems on worksheet, redirection when needed (if student(s) becomes agitated/frustrated etc.),
transitional warnings to make sure students know what to expect next with the use of visual schedule, provide fidget toy
during instruction
ENGAGEMENT
Through hands-on learning, students will stay engaged throughout this lesson on recycling. Real-life items, rather than just pictures will be used to
introduce the concept of recycling. Following discussion, students will be able to get up and demonstrate what they have learned through a class
game that will help students to understand the concept of what may or may not be recycled.
After hands-on engagement, students will be able to ask themselves:
1. What is recycling?
2. Why does recycling help the environment?
3. What items should I recycle and what items should I just throw in the trash?
EXPLORATION
*Evaluation: students will demonstrate items that are recyclable/non-recyclable during game. Also, students will demonstrate what they have learned at end of
lesson while independently making a list of items that may be recycled.

ELABORATION
With this hands-on lesson, students will develop a more sophisticated knowledge of the concept of recycling because they are practicing what they
are learning, rather than just listening to someone talk about it. Students will generate their own ideas and thinking, practice what they are learning,
and then independently apply the concepts learned into their own lives.
What vocabulary will be introduced and how will it connect to students observations?
Recycling
Recyclable
Non-recyclable
*With a knowledge of these vocabulary terms, students will understand the concept of recycling and how to apply it in their lives.
Application:
Students will be able to apply this knowledge to their daily lives by taking the concepts learned and recycling on their own. They will be able to
determine items that should or should not be recycled and implement recycling in their home, school, and community.
EVALUATION
Students will demonstrate their understanding of the concept of recycling by distinguishing between items that are recyclable and non-recyclable
through the hands-on game that will occur following class discussion. In addition, students will demonstrate what they have learned through the I Can
Recycle Worksheet where they will independently list 8 items that can be recycled at the end of the lesson.
