Teacher Resources – Videos and Class Activity Sheets

Overview:

Waste Less Windsor recently released a series of educational videos and activities targeted for 3rd to 5th graders. As a teacher, you can use them as a valuable class activity to introduce your young students to recycling principles.

As a parent, you can use these videos at home to help your kids understand the basics of recycling and do fun exercises to practice how to recycle.

There are 3 videos in the series (in English and in Spanish):

  1. Introduction to Recycling with Mr. Garcia – initial concepts
  2. Recycling at Lunch – how to recycle at school
  3. Recycling with Kayden and Quinn – what can we make from recyclables?

Each video has an accompanying one-page Activity Sheet.

The videos in this series are all structured in the same way:

  • Introduction by a Windsor Rotarian
  • The Main Video Content
    • There is a 20-second pause between the video and the review of Activity Sheet answers
  • A review of the questions on the Activity Sheet & their answers

Using the Activity Sheets:

  1. Our participating schools have received packets of preprinted Activity Sheets. Teachers can pass out the Activity Sheets to the students either before the video or during the pause/break.
  2. We have inserted a 20-second pause between the Main Video Content and the Activity Sheet review.
    • You can use this break to pause the video and pass out the Activity Sheets to the students.
    • Students can complete the Activity Sheets in a couple minutes.
  3. Then you can re-start the video and it continues with a review of the answers for the students.
