Description
Are you in need of a water pollution project that engages and gets students involved in real-world community issues? This water pollution project illuminates water pollution issues that are relevant and meaningful to each student and gets them directly involved in those issues.
This resource is a water pollution lesson that is a mix of service-learning, project-based learning, and problem-based learning. This project resource is a guide that walks students through the steps of project-based learning seamlessly from start to finish so that they can lead the experience with confidence.
Students will explore water pollution issues in the local or global community, research one specific issue, design an action plan, and act on it. This is the service-learning aspect of this project. Examples of specific issues include ocean plastics, acidification, bioaccumulation, drinking water issues, etc. The goal is to make a positive, long-term impact on the community. This product includes all of the guiding materials necessary to accomplish such an important learning experience.
Community action projects could easily be aligned to standards and incorporated into a specific subject. Projects should be expected to take anywhere from 2-6 weeks.
This project-based learning activity gives students the tools to make a positive impact on the community long after they have completed the project, finished the class, or graduated from school.
Note: The printable PDF version of this resource is not editable at this time. The digital Google Slides version offers a little more flexibility to make changes by overlaying text or adding/removing slides to better fit your needs.
