This learning resource focuses on teaching students how to classify common household items into three recycling categories: plastic, paper, and metal. The goal is for students to identify key characteristics of each material type, enhancing their understanding of proper waste sorting. The document outlines the characteristics of plastic, paper, and metal items, provides detailed instructions for an interactive sorting activity, and includes reflective questions to provoke critical thinking about recycling practices. Visual aids, household item examples, and a self-check answer key support the learning process, while emphasizing the environmental impact of proper sorting in waste management.
