We started our NEW PBL this week on "Tread Lightly"
To go along with this unit and to teach students how important it is not to dump waste, trash, etc. in the water we completed an activity with different scenarios that all led to dumping products into clean water that harm the animals that live there (like Fiona the Fish).
After each scenario, we would answer-How is Fiona??
Here is Fiona in her clean water!
In her clean water, she is doing great!
Fiona had to swim through soil and chemicals...how is Fiona??
She had to swim through litter from some nearby picnickers..how is Fiona??
Oops..an oil spill...how is Fiona doing now??
Chemicals!! How is Fiona doing?
Factory spills...how is Fiona doing??
Ugh...waste water!
Salty slush!! How is Fiona doing??
How is Fiona doing after facing trash, oil, chemical, factory spills, etc??
Poor Fiona!!
After the activity, we discussed what water pollution, how humans can impact our water in a negative way, and why it is important to LOVE our earth and save animals like Fiona!
