Teaching Kids About Pollution
When I was thinking about this pollution set up for our Science area, I knew I wanted a hands-on and visual display. Children learn by doing so by having them collect grass, trash, making clean snow and dirty snow, among other things – they are getting to experience what pollution is.
After your jars are filled it is good to introduce your cards and pictures sharing and or asking your children what they see. You can also place the word card below the picture so they have a full visual of each idea.
