REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

This unit of study has been prepared by the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service of Middlesex County with funding provided by the Middlesex County Division of Solid Waste Management.

The curriculum is organized into three major sections, REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE. Each section contains three hands-on activities which will take approximately one class period (with the exception of the compost activity). The unit may be used as a whole, but each activity has been designed to stand alone. Each activity includes the core curriculum standards which apply, a list of materials needed to complete the activity, background information needed to understand each activity, suggested extension activities, and a fun activity to complete in the classroom or as a take home project.

Unit is targeted for 4th Grade but is adaptable to other age groups.
