ACTIVITY PLAN:

•    Introduce the students to the concept of air pollution

•    Ask them to identify  an air pollutant

•    Discuss the effects of pollution

•    Relate pollution to health

•    Is air pollution more in traffic crossings?

•    Are there specific areas with higher percentage of pollutants

•    Have a class discussion

•    Does pollution affect animals?

This can then be followed by an experiment using earthworms to show the impact of pollution on soil

HOW COULD TREES ACT AS POLLUTION FILTERS
WHAT ACTIONS CAN WE TAKE TO REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING
