  1. Air and Water in the Environment By: Mrs. Ross’s Grade 1/2 Class Assisted by Mrs. Rossmo-Wiegers Silverspring School 2012

  2. What can we do to keep the air and water in our environment safe and clean? Inquiry Question:

  3. How does water become contaminated? • Oil spills -from ships -from pipe bursts • Vehicle pollution (car, truck, etc.) • Factories • Human pollution

  4. Harmful effects of polluted water • Harms or kills animals Such as: -birds -fish -squid/octopus -dolphins -sharks -sea turtles • Can harm or kill humans -drinking contaminated water (parasites and bacterias in the water) -unable to use for washing clothes or bodies • Harms or kills plants • Harmful to the air (and polluted air can harm water)

  5. Can we control all water contamination? Control Can not control

  6. What have you seen in our river?Saskatoon SK (South Saskatchewan) • Bicycle • Shopping carts • Plastic • Garbage • Plastic bags • Tin cans • Pop bottles

  7. What can we do to keep our rivers, lakes, and streams clean ? • Stop putting garbage in the water • Recycle • Use a net to clean up the garbage • Walk, scoot, run, or bike to school instead of driving • Take the bus • Car-pool • Don’t let your car idle (turn it off when you are parked!)

  8. How can we do to save water? Don’t waste water! • Use the dishwasher when it is full • Turn off the tap when you are brushing your teeth • Use it only when you need it • Water your lawn in the evening or in the morning (allows for the water to absorb into the ground rather than evaporate quickly) • Turning of the tap when brushing our teeth • Reserve water from leaking taps/collecting rain water • Water lawns when its cooler out; early morning or evening (don’t forget to turn it off!)

  9. Jack and AffaanThis person is drinking very dirty water. He might be drinking this because it may be the only water he has to drink.This picture makes us feel disgusted, gross, and sick. It makes us feel sad because we have clean water and other people do not.

  10. Thora and SharonWe chose this picture because it teaches us not to use and waste so much plastic. This makes us feel upset because there are lots of animals living in the water. It makes us feel angry because it could kill many of the animals living there. It makes us feel sad because if there are people’s favourite animals living in the water then those animals might become sick or die.

  11. Emma, Josie, and DylanWe chose this picture because the fire and smoke are hurting the air and water. This picture makes us feel sad and scared because it could get out of control and burn a lot of things. It makes us worried about the possibility of oil being spilled in the water.

  12. Julietta and AttleighWe chose this picture because it made us sad because all the little kids who live there do not have fresh water to drink. It makes us feel sad because they might be looking for food amongst all the garbage.

  13. Sydnee and JanelleWe chose this picture because it shows that we shouldn’t throw garbage into the water. Throwing garbage into the water causes polluted drinking water, damages the rivers, and may kill the animals living in the water. Polluted drinking water can affect people’s health.

  14. Isabel, Paxton, and EsitaThis picture shows what kind of garbage people are throwing into the water. We have seen bikes, plastic cups, and bags in our river here in Saskatoon. If we keep littering our river could end up just like this one!

  15. Renee and AveryHere is a picture of dead fish in the water. We think these fish died because of polluted water. This water may have been polluted by gases, chemicals, garbage, or oil.

  16. Alex and SpencerThis is a Chinese river. We think that the water was polluted by chemicals, paints, lava, or dead animals.

  17. Adam, Eric, and KaydenWe feel sad because in some countries people have to take baths in water like this. This picture make us feel sick!

  18. Drew and UmaimaWe think this man is going through all this garbage looking for items to reuse such as drinking bottles. We think he might also be trying to clean up the water.

  19. Jakob and EverettWe learned about a giant whirlpool in the ocean which picks up all sorts of garbage. This turtle was living in the water and took a bite of the bag thinking it was food.

  20. What have we learned from our research? • To never through garbage in the water • Don’t pollute our waters • Reduce, reuse, then recycle • Stop other people from putting garbage into the water • Give others information about polluted air and water (educate others!)
