Description
This resource has everything you need to complete a recycle project including graphic organizers to help organize assignments, oral presentation note card requirements, and rubrics that are aligned to the common core. Students will create something USEFUL using materials that we would otherwise throw away or recycle, such as plastic milk containers, water bottles, soda cans, plastic buttons, card board, newspaper, magazines, paper towel or toilet paper rolls, etc. What can students build? One example is to make a bird feeder by cutting a hole in the front of a cleaned milk gallon jug, pouring birdseed in from the cap above and pushing two pencils through small holes below that hole for perches. Another example is a guitar made from a tissue box and cardboard tube. These examples can’t be submitted as a recycling project. It can really be as simple as that, or as creative as you can make it! It just has to be functional.

• Recycle Project

A fantastic resource to guide my students through their upcycling project. Thank you!
Very detailed and a great resource that can be manipulated for nearly any grade level!
I loved that I was able to edit this resource. It was perfect for an end of the year/Earth Day related project. It had everything needed to ensure student success if they used the packet and rubric correctly.
Great resource!
