Waste In Our World Science Reading Passages | Paper and Digital

Learn everything there is to know about waste through these simple science reading passages that require no more prepping than simply printing the pages or posting a link to the pages. These passages were written to replace the need for textbooks.

This resource is part of our Waste in Our World Unit.

• ten reading passages designed for Grade Four reading level (though we understand that not all students read at the exact level).
• topics aligned to the Alberta Program of Studies Waste in Our World learning outcomes so you can use them throughout your unit.
• digital versions have fixed and loose text so they can be read by text-to-speech readers or assistive technologies.
• simple suggestions to use the text sets.

This resource supports:

• any upper elementary or middle school science unit about waste reduction, types of waste, environmental stewardship, or Earth Day.
