Kindergarten Science Worksheet - Challenge Me
Circle the picture.
Which bin is for things that cannot be used again?
You finish a banana at the park. Where does the peel go?
Which bin is for cans so they can be used again?
You want to go to the park. Which way keeps the air cleaner?
Young children can help the environment through small actions whose results they can see: putting litter in a bin, keeping trash out of water, recycling cans and paper, watering and planting, and turning off a light. Broad messages such as ‘save the planet’ are difficult for a kindergartner to apply, so this worksheet asks one short question about one everyday action and shows the answer as a picture of a bin, a tree, a watering can, or a lamp. Children hear a place or a problem, such as a park with trash or flowers that are dry, and circle the picture that helps.
Support and standard pages use clear wrong answers. Challenge pages add a fourth picture and ask about the trash bin, the recycling bin and cleaner ways to travel, so the child must tell one bin from the other. Avoid implying that children are responsible for solving large problems alone. The goal is to practice reasonable choices while understanding why they help. Ask your child to name one adult or group who can help with the same action in the real community.
