See with clear vision the forces that cloud our air, water, and Earth’s soil.
1.
<STRONG>What pollutes?</STRONG> We only have one Earth with its soil, rivers, oceans, and air. Look around your neighborhood for pollution culprits. Are there factories that spew chemicals into water? Do people drive when they could walk or take public transportation? Is soil eroding at mines or around construction sites? Make a list of pollution that you see (or smell) during one week. Then make a diorama to show the ways that soil and rivers are being harmed.
2.
<STRONG>Show the environment.</STRONG> Inside a box (you may need to line it with white paper), draw the backdrop for your scene with Crayola Markers.
3.
<STRONG>Picture polluters</STRONG>. On recycled file folders, draw various causes of pollution. You might show vehicles in traffic with dripping oil, chemicals being sprayed on lawns or fields, or garbage being dumped in landfills. Leave a tab on the bottom of each figure. Cut out pictures with Crayola Scissors. Fold tabs. Glue pictures to your scene with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry.
