If you are a teacher using material from this site in your class, you can best decide which articles would be most appropriate for your students. In general, students from grade 4 and up can use the site on their own. Scan the basic features of the site below to find out how to use Virtual Recycling. The interactive quizzes at the end of each Recycling Feature Article provide a measurable outcome for computer lab sessions and are fun for kids to try. They can test their knowledge before or after reading the feature article.
Students can print the results or do it over to improve their score.
Students and teachers can both use the STAR Schools Database to see what schools in Manitoba have recycling programs and what type of materials they are collecting. If you have an idea for an article about recycling or waste reduction that you'd like to see on the site, please let us know. Or, perhaps your class has a cool recycling project or activity that you'd like to share.
