Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Worksheets for 1st and 2nd Grade

What your child practices

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle comes alive in 6 worksheets for 1st and 2nd grade science (Grades 1 to 2 in Canada), with 59 questions in total. Young scientists learn by noticing, asking questions and talking about what they see, and these sheets turn Reduce, Reuse, Recycle into simple questions they can answer with pictures and words. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. Each sheet supports NGSS K-ESS3-3, covering Earth's resources and how people affect the planet. It also touches 2-PS1-1, matter and how it changes. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 2. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. Short on time? Start with the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Read the sheet aloud and let your child answer by drawing or pointing.
• Let your child predict an answer before reading, then check if the prediction held up.
• Connect Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to something at home: the kitchen, the yard or the sky tonight.
