Scavenger Hunt
Go on a recycling scavenger hunt around your house
How many plastic items can you find in your house? Look in each room and make a list of everything that you can find that is made from plastic.
Record how many items you find on a Tally Chart and a Block Graph like the ones below. (These are examples as your numbers will be different to these!)
Make yourself a Tally Chart like the one below;
