Lesson Overview:
Objectives - Students will be able to
:
Describe the origins of pollution
List the effects/health risks of pollution.
Give examples of human and natural pollutants
Materials:
Note cards
Air freshener/Aerosol Can
Bottle of vinegar
Pictures of pollution sourcesSlide3
ENGAGEAt the beginning of the lesson, the teacher will spray a can of air freshener into the air and ask if the students like the smell or not. Then the teacher will open a bottle of Vinegar and ask the students which they prefer.Ask the students which odor is simulating a pollutant.Slide4
ExploreIn this activity student’s will be broken up into groups of 4-5 students each. Have students list all the sources of pollutants they can think of. Have 2 groups list human sources of pollutants and the remaining groups list natural sources. This should take about five minutes of their time.Slide5
EXPLAINHandout note cards to the class. Each note card has a pollutant on the front and its definition on the back. Have several pictures of sources of pollutants such as cars, power plants, volcanoes, plants, etc. One by one have all the students come up to the board and place their notecard where it belongs. The student will read the definition to the class before placing it on the board. For example: a student has the card CO2. They read the definition, place that card on the car. The teacher will review each picture and correct any mistakes if necessary. Slide6
ELABORATEIn this part of the activity, students will be shown a picture of a city nearby with a lot of air pollution. Teacher will lead an open-ended discussion about living in an area of high air pollution. Examples of possible questions: how would you feel living here? Health risks? How would effect animal/plant life? After this, the teacher can explain some short or long term effects of air pollution: For example, a short term effect can be irritation of the eyes and a long term effect can be lung cancer.Slide7
EVALUATEAssessment- students will be given a worksheet to be done at home which covers the objectives of the lesson.(optional) The next day in class, when students walk in, a warm up questions will be projected on the board asking them to name three human and natural sources of pollutants and what is one long term and one short term related risk of pollution.Slide8
