Subject: Science · Area: Ecosystems & Habitats · Ages 5 to 6

## Ready when they can

- Identify at least three ways humans negatively impact the local environment (litter, pollution, habitat destruction)
- Propose at least three solutions to reduce human impact (recycling, reducing waste, conserving water, planting trees)
- Explain how each solution helps protect land, water, air, or living things

## Lesson: Taking care of our earth

People can hurt nature. Litter, dirty air, and cutting trees hurt plants and animals. But people can help fix these problems too.

*(drawing: See the trash. Pick it up. Put it in the bin.)*

**Example.** Mia sees trash at the park. She picks it up. She puts it in the recycling bin. Now the park looks clean and safe.

**Tip.** Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. This saves water for fish and plants. Small actions help our whole earth.

**Recap.** Recycle, save water, and plant trees to help the earth.
