• Recycling helps save materials to be used again.

•Riding your bike or walking saves energy

•Pollution effects the whole environment

•Everyone can save the earth little by little!

Our class will take a field trip to our local park to observe the different

roles our environment plays. You will be put into groups; each group will be

assigned a topic such as Pollution, Energy, the Water Cycle, and

Recycling. You will study your topic using the parks materials and then

complete a presentation on information you found at the park and

on the internet. Good Luck!

To begin this endeavor, we have to ask other questions.

What can we do to recycle? Who else can get involved?

?What are the different recycling categories?

How can we stop pollution? ? What is energy?

?

?How can we stop air pollution? What can we do to help?

? ?

? ?

What is the water cycle?

You and your group will be responsible for constructing or drawing a product of your topic. For example, you can draw the water cycle or recycling chain on a poster for credit. If you choose to construct a model, I will provide

the materials you need! Be creative!
