All About Plastic

Plastic is everywhere, but what do you know about it? In this worksheet, children discover what plastic is, how it is manufactured, as well as its history and about attempts to reduce plastic waste. After reading about plastic and looking at two sidebars, students then answer a series of questions to reflect on what they have learned. Designed for third, fourth, and fifth graders, this All about Plastic worksheet lends well to a unit on Earth Day, and supports children as they learn to answer reading comprehension questions and interpret nonfiction text features.
