The Story of Frannie The Fish.

Looking outside, this lesson explores waterways (streams, rainwater runoff, drainage pollution) with a focus on urban waterways. Students learn about the water cycle and how to keep pollution out of waterways. Mercury in fish is also addressed.

In this activity, students use critical thinking to predict how water becomes polluted. This activity is designed to safely model the ways in which pollutants and hazardous chemicals may react when they reach water and the cumulative effect of land uses on water quality. By simulating the contamination of water by various kinds of chemicals, students are introduced to the clean up techniques being employed.

In this simple and visual activity, students learn how much water is on the planet and where it is stored.
