About this worksheet
3rd Grade Ways to Conserve Natural Resources Worksheet
Students often lump reduce, reuse, and recycle together. This worksheet keeps them distinct by using one object: buying fewer bottles is reduce, refilling your bottle is reuse, and an old bottle made into a new one is recycle. With one bottle and three clear meanings, the differences stick.
Key Science Vocabulary
conserve, reduce, reuse, recycle, waste
