Who knows better what makes our planet sick or heathy than Earth itself? Meet your friend Earth who joins Kid Scoop to chat about a messy problem—litter! When trash that should be in a garbage can lands on the ground instead, it becomes litter—and litter causes a range of problems for Earth from clogging storm drains, to polluting water, to hurting animals. Earth wants to share information, statistics, and what you can do to help beginning today! In this issue you’ll identify kinds of litter, then discover how to properly sort throwaways for compost, trash, or recycle. Next, take a walk around your neighborhood and see what litter you spot. Keeping our planet litter-free will make Earth happy and healthy! And when Earth is happy and healthy, it’s better for your health, too!
In this issue students will:
- read informational text about litter and littering
- learn litter statistics
- compare information displayed in a bar graph
- sort litter into trash, compost, recycle
- go on a litter hunt in your yard or neighborhood
- turn headlines into complete sentences
- calculate sums while solving a maze
