You will need:
Cardboard
felts (crayons, pencils, etc)
glue
Garbage (in your house or at school)
Research:
Make a chart with the following headings: Paper, Yard waste, food, metals, glass, and plastics. Go through your house (or classroom) and describe the waste that you find. Be sure to put it in the approriate column.
'Crust'
Cut a circle from the cardboard for your pizza crust. Divide the crust into the same amount of pieces as you had columns. Note: make each piece be representative of the amount of that type of garbage that you found. For example if you found way more paper waste then that piece of pizza would be larger that all the others. (The most difficult part is getting the pieces to be the right size)
'Toppings'
Top the pizza off with examples of the types of garbage you found. For example in the 'plastics' piece you may have a milk jug, a plasic container, a six pack rings etc.
Finished Product
You can now display your pizza at at school or in the community. When you are finished with it make sure to recycle the pizza parts. (Just make sure you don't eat them!)
