Are you looking for a hands-on activity that teaches students how to sort their waste correctly? This hands-on sorting activity teaches students to identify and classify different types of waste. Students sort picture cards into the correct category - glass, paper, plastic, metal, or compost - using one of two sorting mat designs.
What's included:
Sorting mat design 1 - flat header-style mats for each category
Sorting mat design 2 - wheelie bin style mats for each category
Colour and black & white versions of both mat designs
Picture cards to sort (colour and black & white)
Recording template - students draw or write examples of each type of recyclable waste
