Advantages and disadvantages of recycling

The KS3 resource contains a graphic (thought) organiser and a set of cards. It is perfect to use as part of the 'Earth's resources' topic.

Students are required to sort the cards into advantages and disadvantages and them to rank them in importance. In conclusion, they use the information to explain the impact of recycling.

The resource could be differentiated by changing the command word of the final task to 'describe' or 'evaluate'.

As an alternative activity try the resource 'Reduce, reuse, recycle!' (20277).
