for primary school teachers


Think Cans in the Classroom provides a range of unique, interactive resources designed to bring recycling and aluminium into the curriculum. These include a tour of the life cycle of an aluminium can - 'The Aluminium Can Recycling Loop', which can be used together with our classroom activities and interactive games. To support your teaching we've included a range of fun activities and information sheets and have suggested some assembly ideas where children can tell their fellow pupils about what they've learnt! 

The resources can either be used as stand-alone activities, combined to run across a number of periods or to support a topic over a number of weeks.

The activities have been designed to be cross-curricular and are suitable for individual or group learning. They also support learning in core areas including reading and writing, numeracy and ICT.
