At Riverdale Academy, Science Fun is Turning Trash into Treasure.

Kindergarten students are learning to take care of Earth’s natural resources by recycling and reusing plastic or paper products. They learned to wash out and reuse a jug to refill with clean water to drink.

Students discussed how to cut an empty jug to make a scoop, a bird house, or food bowl for a pet. Also they learned how to sort objects by paper or plastic to take to a recycling center.

One important concept was don’t litter! Litter can harm Earth’s land and water or the animals that live there. So the students decided to turn their trash into treasure by making sculptures out of empty plastic and paper products. Way to go Kindergarten!!!
