CONSERVATION/POLLUTION PROJECT CHOICE BOARD
DUE: Thursday, April 3, 2014
Choose one of the project options below. Circle your choice. Have a parent sign the
bottom of this sheet. Show me that a parent signed your sheet then keep it for reference
for completing your project. Remember, you will be presenting your completed project to
the class, so be prepared to explain what you did, what you learned, and answer questions
about your project. Most of all, have fun!
Make a book of everything you
recycle at home. Use
pictures/photos, descriptions
of items, or items themselves
to illustrate things that YOU
recycle at home.
Pretend you are an animal.
Create a puppet show to
demonstrate how that animal’s
life would change when its
environment is changed by
pollution. Remember to tell
what type of animal you are,
habitat you are living in, and
type of pollution taking place.
You will need your animal
puppet, a background, other
characters, and any props that
you will use.
Write a children’s book about
pollution or conservation.
Remember to use the correct
vocabulary (pollution,
conservation, recycle, reduce,
reuse, compost, litter, etc.). It
must have illustrations.
Make a movie about
conservation. What resources
do we need to protect? What
changes need to be made to
protect those resources? Why
is it important to protect these
things? Be creative!
Make a graphic organizer that
contains the vocabulary and
concepts that we learned in our
pollution/conservation unit.
You also need to make
vocabulary cards.
Write a song/rap about
conserving our resources,
recycling, or pollution. You
must write out the lyrics and
be ready to perform it for the
class. You may also create any
props that will help you with
the presentation.
Begin a compost pile at your
home. Document how you
started it with a journal entry
and picture/photo. Make a T
chart of things that can and
cannot be put into a compost
pile. Finally, explain/show some
uses of the compost after it
decomposes.
Make a game about recycling.
Your game needs to include
written directions, rules,
players’ pieces, game pieces,
game board or other needed
items to play. Remember, it
must include details about
pollution/recycling on your
game.
Write a drama or a story about
your life if you were the thing
causing the pollution (the
pollutant). Where are you?
What are you? How did you get
there? Be creative. Give as
many details as you can.
