Introduction
Hi Environmentalists!
Today, we are going to become professionals on how important it is to reduce, reuse, and recycle trash. Trash is harmful for our Earth and through tasks completed, at the end of this WebQuest, you will be able to see how trash is harmful for our environment and what us as humans could do to prevent a toxic environment.
By watching interactive videos and playing educational Recycling games, you will learn about Recycling. After tasks completed, their will be a final assessment of all information learned.
Best of luck Environmentalists!
