Environmental awareness

Lesson: Geography

Class: Year 4 Year: 2019 - 2020

As part of our schools environmental week Year 4 looked at the issue of water pollution. We started with a 'clean' ocean and children added, litter, toxic waste (vegetable oil) and other materials. We then discussed the effects this has on animals living in the ocean and what we could do to reduce this waste. As a class we then removed the litter and filtered the water. The children discussed how 'quick and easy' they found it to pollute the water compared to the time it took to empty and filter it and how it had a lasting effect.
