This ESR scheme of work comes with all you need to educate your class on the importance of preserving, reusing and protecting the Earth’s finite resources.
Lesson 1
What can be recycled?
Engage your class with the recycling process and investigate what happens after they put something into a recycling bin.

Lesson 2
The life of plastic
Children look closely at plastics and the linear life of a plastic bottle. They are encouraged to discuss and investigate how plastics are made, recycled and eventually end up as waste. The children think about how important it is to reuse items as much as possible and are challenged to think of alternative uses or items they could use instead of single-use plastics.
