Earth Day Worksheet - Sorting Recyclable and non-recycling items

This engaging worksheet invites students to learn about recycling in a fun, hands-on way. Kids will look at various images of items and sort them into two categories: recyclable and non-recyclable. By distinguishing between materials such as plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and Styrofoam cups, students develop a practical understanding of how to care for the environment. Use this activity during Earth Day celebrations or as part of a science unit on sustainability. It’s also a great idea to follow up with a class discussion on how they can incorporate recycling into their daily lives.
