Curious about Recycling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781681529660)

Why do we need to save the earth? Does recycling really help? Does compost smell bad? Translated into North American Spanish, this series answers kids' questions about the environment. The question-and-answer format helps build inquiry skills. A "Stay Curious!" feature encourages further learning and builds critical thinking skills. What should be recycled and where do the items go? And why is recycling so important? Ignite kids' growing curiosity about the environment with an inquiry-based approach to reducing waste. Aluminum, steel, glass, paper, cardboard, plus some plastics--it all can be recycled! Recycling saves these materials from the landfill. Instead of throwing them away, we can reuse them over and over, saving water and valuable resources. Conversational questions and answers guide early elementary readers on a critical thinking journey with accessible text about the recycling process, why recycling plastics can be difficult, and how communities are encouraging more people to recycle. Colorful and engaging infographics help visual learners understand new concepts. A "Stay Curious!" feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes table of contents, glossary, and index.
