Carton Recycling
Grades: Elementary (1-5)
Subject Area: Math, Science, Language Arts
Made Possible By: The Carton Council
Teach your students how they can have a positive impact on the environment by recycling the cartons they use at school every day. Standards-based activity sheets for grades 1-3 and grades 4-5 combine math, science, and language arts to help students estimate how many cartons could be recycled at your school and mobilize support for an in-school recycling program.
