OBJECTIVE:To use independent research and clips from the media to

understand the causes of different types of pollution and offer possible solutions to these

problems.

Grade CAll will be able to describe the main types of pollution

and their causes.

Grade BMost will be able explain some possible solutions to

the different types of pollution.

Grade A/A*Some will be able to judge who or what is responsible for the state the world is

in.

Your GOALS for the end of

this lesson are…

OUTCOMES…

Visit the different pictures stationed around the room.

For each picture explain what is happening and what TYPE of pollution you think this is.

Starter…

TASK…Now complete the column relating to

the affects of pollution.

How do you think each of the examples

affect the environment and its

inhabitants?

Fly Tipping/Litter

LAND POLLUTIONCan lead to poor growth of crops, loss of wildlife habitats and other types of pollution such as WATER

POLLUTION

Oil spill

WATER POLLUTIONThis includes the contamination

of rivers, lakes and oceans. It affects the waters quality making

harmful to both humans and animals.

Power stations

AIR POLLUTIONAffects the natural balance in the air. Can lead to ACID RAIN. Can

cause SMOG. Can lead to breathing problems in humans

and animals.Scientist believe air pollution causes GLOBAL WARMING.

Toxic Waste

LAND POLLUTIONCan cause huge health problems

for humans and other wildlife. Lowers the soils fertility making it

hard to grow food.

Deforestation

LAND POLLUTIONTakes away the earths natural

resources leaving the earth barren.

Electrical waste

WASTE POLLUTIONWaste that cannot be recycled

and is not bio-degradable. It takes up space, spreads disease and releases dangerous chemicals.

Congestion

AIR POLLUTIONUpsets natural balance of the air. Contributes to breathing problems such as asthma and is believed to

contribute to the problem of GLOBAL WARMING.

Grade CAll will be able

to describe the main types of

pollution and their causes.

Did you achieveYOUR goals?…

OUTCOMES…

What can be done?… Just like in

the Thames 21 project many people and organisations can help clean up pollution.

However it would be better to PREVENT pollution in the first place…

Turn your book landscape and split your page into 4 as seen below…

What can be done?…

What can individuals do? What can the government do?

What can businesses do? What can scientists do?POLLUTION

Think – Pair – Share…

Use the coloured card to help you with ideas for ONE of these sections and

then feed back to the rest of the group

Use the following clip for ideas...What can be done?…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nvSMoYRi6Q

What can individuals do? What can the government do?

What can businesses do? What can scientists do?POLLUTION

Create less waste (REDUCE)REUSE itemsRECYCLEBuy products with less packagingDon’t waste energy (lights, heating etc..)

Make recycling compulsoryMake recycling easier (more bins etc…)Make strict anti-pollution laws (the UK have these)Severe penalties for people who polluteSupport organisations like WWFRaise awareness

Create less waste (REDUCE)Make company and employees energy efficientUse renewable energy resourcesUse cleaner fuelsRECYCLEREUSE items

Research ways of creating less wasteCreate ways of getting rid of waste more efficientlyResearch renewable energy resources.

Grade BMost will be able explain

some possible

solutions to the different

types of pollution.

Did you achieveYOUR goals?…

OUTCOMES…

Think about pollution and its causes…

Who/what do you think is

responsible for the state the world is in?

Who’s to blame?…

Is it… Humanity? The Government? Greed? Selfishness? Businesses? Past generations? Scientists? Young people?

OUTCOMES…

Get into pairs .One must be the

keeper the other the penalty taker.

You will be selected to face each other.

If the keeper saves the striker answers the question, if the striker scores the

keeper has to answer.

Name 2 types of pollution.

Name another 2 types of pollution

What type of pollution is

deforestation and hoe does it effect the

environment?

What type of pollution does

congestion cause and

how does this effect the

environment?

Name 2 things individuals can do to tackle the problem of pollution.

Name one thing the

government can do to tackle the problem of pollution

Name one thing

businesses and places of

work can do to help tackle

the problem of pollution.

Name one thing

scientists can do to help tackle the problem of pollution.
