The best way to maximize the return on your recycling program is to energize your participants, and we’re here to help you do that! Here you will find green lesson plans and recycling activities that will teach your participants how they can care for the environment in their everyday lives. We also have a lot of useful information to help make your GreenSchoolProject as successful (and profitable) as possible!
Lesson Plans and Printable Worksheets – We have green lesson plans, activities, and even printable worksheets appropriate for grades K-3, 4-6, and 7-12. These include hands-on projects and can be integrated across a curriculum to make sure that your students learn about recycling first-hand!
In addition, if you’ve already made your own recycling lesson plan, you can send it to us! If we use your lesson plan on our GreenSchoolProject site, we'll send you a $10 credit on your next shipment!* Send us your lesson plan to support@greenschoolproject.com.
Literature List – Want to read up on recycling? Here is a list of supporting literature ranging from simple picture books about recycling to more advanced resources for secondary students. Educators can pique students' interest in recycling by reading a book to them, or simply by making the material available for their own exploration.
Know of a great book on recycling or the environment? Send us the title and author – we’re always looking for a great new title to add to our list!
School-Home Connection – Nothing helps your recycling efforts like a little PR! Keep parents and students abreast of your program by sending out the letters and fliers found in this section. We also have activities for students and parents to complete together!
Web Resources – Take advantage of the wealth of recycling information on the internet using our collection of student-friendly sites to help with research and learning about green topics.
