This
lesson
introduces
primary
students
to
the
water
cycle
by
having
them
help
draw
a
picture
of
a
lake
ecosystem,
adding
human
impacts
that
affect
water
quality.
Students
conclude
by
creating
their
own
illustrations
of
human-induced
changes
to
a
lake
ecosystem.
There
are
suggested
implementation
directions
and
assessment
strategies.

This
demonstration
is
designed
to
show
the
effect
of
acid
on
statues
and
buildings.
Students
will
learn
how
acid
rain
is
an
air
pollution
problem
as
the
teacher
discusses
the
slow
deterioration
of
statues
and
buildings
due
to
the
weak
acid
rain
that
falls
on
them.
Students
will
learn
that
the
sulfur
and
nitrogen
compounds
that
contribute
to
acid
rain
primarily
come
from
man-made
sources,
such
as
industries

This
site
focuses
on
children's
water
education
and
activities,
offering
several
opportunities
to
investigate
various
topics
about
water
use,
treatment,
and
conservation.
The

the
concepts
are
broad
enough
to
extend
to
all
states.
There
are
handouts
and
visuals
on
fun
facts
about
water,
the
water
cycle,
and
the
process
of
water
treatment
and
distribution.

This
series
of
activities
demonstrates
some
effects
of
rising
levels
of
greenhouse
gases
on
climate.
Specifically,
it
shows
how
an
increase
of
heat-trapping
gases
in
the
atmosphere
raises
temperatures;
higher
temperatures
affect
the
water
cycle,
and
rising
sea
levels
could
affect
coastal
areas
as
a
result
of
glacial
and
polar
ice
melt.

In this lesson, students test for visible and invisible pollutants in the air and keep a journal of experimental results, procedures, and conclusions. Using simple materials, they will form groups to set up experiments around the school, keep records, research the history of acid rain, make a mural showing the acid rain cycle, and post a chart displaying the sources of visible pollutants.
