Grades 1-3
Count how many pieces of junk mail make it to the recycling
bin each day. Compare the number of
pieces of junk mail to other mail. Make
a big comparison at the end of the week.
Grades 4-5
Junk mail can be pretty heavy. Keep track of the junk mail that ends up in
the recycle bin in your house. At the
end of the week, hold it all while you stand on a bathroom scale. Then weigh yourself and subtract. This is how much weight your family recycled
in junk mail this week. Multiply by 52
and you’ll have an idea of how much junk mail comes to your house every
year.
Grades 6-8
Does one day of the week generate more junk mail than the
others? Try setting up a simple line graph
for a couple of weeks. Record the number
of pieces that your family receives each day.
Make a prediction for the third week and see what happens.
