Description
Incorporate environmental studies and project-based learning into your classroom with the Upcycle Challenge, a versatile resource designed for middle school students that can also be used in upper elementary and high school. With this complete project guide, your students will unleash their creativity while learning about the importance of recycling and repurposing by transforming waste materials into new and useful products.
The Upcycle Challenge is ideal for Earth Month and can be completed with a whole class, in pairs or groups, or at home as a family project. Your students might explore upcycle ideas such as turning old t-shirts into tote bags, repurposing glass jars into vases or candle holders, or transforming plastic bottles into planters - the possibilities are endless!
By participating in the Upcycle Challenge, your students will not only have fun creating unique and useful items, but they will also gain a deeper understanding of sustainability and the impact of waste on the environment.
