Today, we’re going to learn about recycling and how to take care of our natural resources. Let’s make it fun and easy to understand!
After lunch, it’s time to clean up! We have two trash bins: one for recycling and one for regular trash. The recycling bin has a special symbol on it. Recycling means taking old things and turning them into something new.
Some items can be recycled, like glass bottles, aluminum cans, plastic bags, and magazines. But remember, food items like apple cores and eggshells should go in the regular trash bin.
When we put recyclable items in the right bin, they go to a recycling plant. There, they are turned into new products. Remember, only glass, metal, plastic, and paper can be recycled!
Natural resources are things we need to live, like water, air, and sunlight. They are important for humans, animals, and plants. Conservation means taking care of these resources so we don’t run out.
If we don’t conserve, we might face scarcity, which means there isn’t enough of something, like water during a drought. You can help by saving water and reducing pollution.
We also need energy for our homes. It can come from natural resources like coal or gas. But using solar or wind power is better for the environment!
A resource is something people use to meet their needs. There are three main types:
Good citizens are kind and helpful in their communities. You can be a good citizen by keeping your community clean and being polite to your neighbors.
We hope you enjoyed learning about recycling and natural resources. Remember, every little action helps our planet. Goodbye!
Recycling Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find items that can be recycled. Make a list of these items and sort them into categories: glass, metal, plastic, and paper. Discuss with your friends or family why each item is recyclable and what new products they might become.
Resource Detective: Become a resource detective! Look around your home or school and identify different natural resources being used, such as water from the tap or sunlight coming through the window. Make a poster showing how these resources are used and write one way you can help conserve each resource.
Question Time: Think about these questions and discuss them with a friend or family member:

Welcome to Kids Academy! Today, we’re learning about recycling and how to protect our natural resources.
First, let’s clean up after lunch. We have two trash bins: one for recycling and one for regular trash. The recycling bin has a special symbol on it. Recycling means taking old trash and making it into something new.
Some items can be recycled, like glass bottles, aluminum cans, plastic bags, and magazines. However, food items, like apple cores and eggshells, should go in the trash bin.
When we put recyclable items in the correct bin, they go to a recycling plant where they are processed and turned into new products. Remember, only glass, metal, plastic, and paper can be recycled.
Now, let’s talk about natural resources. These are essential for all living things, including humans, animals, and plants. Conservation is the protection of natural resources. If we don’t conserve, we can face scarcity, which means there isn’t enough of something, like water during a drought.
You can help prevent water scarcity by conserving water and reducing pollution. We also need energy for our homes, which can come from natural resources like coal or gas. However, using solar or wind power can be better for the environment.
Here are some tips to conserve natural resources: walk or ride your bike instead of using cars, turn off the water while washing your hands, and use sunlight instead of electric lights.
Now, let’s review resources. A resource is something people use to meet their needs. There are three main types: human resources (people who provide services), capital resources (goods used to provide services), and natural resources (things found in nature).
Good citizens are kind and helpful in their communities. You can be a good citizen by keeping your community clean and being polite to your neighbors.
Thanks for watching! Goodbye!
