https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r This board contains ten resources to use for a unit on the effects of pollution and humans on the environment. This unit will expect the students to obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the effects of pollution (air, land, and water) and humans on the environment. They will also need to research and communicate solutions to the causes and effects of pollution in order to help the plants and animals. The resources provided are great instructional supports and activities to help students understand the causes and effects of the various kinds of pollution and humans on plants and animals, and they will allow the students to find solutions to these problems. Since there is a wide variety of resources such as websites, videos, interactive games, and anchor charts, they will accommodate a diverse learning environment. These resources will keep the students engaged and excited to learn about this topic. en-us 2019-05-30 13:20:44 UTC 2019-06-06 14:06:43 UTC hello@padlet.com ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/364634146 This video gives a great description of the causes and effects of air pollution, and it gives some examples of solutions for air pollution. I would play this video to introduce the topic of air pollution. I would make sure to pause the video to discuss any unknown terms with students.  ]]> 2019-05-30 13:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/364634146 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/364646149 This website will allow students to learn about the various ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle to protect the environment.I would have the students use this website after we have learned about some of the ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. ]]> 2019-05-30 14:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/364646149 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/364647245 This worksheet will allow students to decipher between the various types of pollution and their causes and effects. This is a great way to help visual learners clearly see the differences.]]> 2019-05-30 14:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/364647245 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365748468 This will be a great way for me to work with the students to come up with ideas on how to reduce, reuse, and recycle. We can list the ideas they come up with and then draw pictures to go along with their ideas. ]]> 2019-06-05 03:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365748468 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365943973 I would use this game in small groups to teach about how humans can affect the environment. This will help the students see what humans do to help or hurt our environment, and they may even see things they do on a daily basis. ]]> 2019-06-05 19:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365943973 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365946714 Since the students are supposed to be asking questions to collect information, I would provide them with this research website. This website is a kid friendly and kid safe platform for students to research various topics. This will allow the students to find answers to their questions. I would encourage my students to write down questions they have while I am teaching or they are doing an activity, then they will have a few minutes at the end of each lesson to look up the answers to their questions. ]]> 2019-06-05 19:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365946714 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365948091 I would read The Lorax to my students, then I would go through the causes and effects of the pollution discussed in the book. We would create a chart together. This would lead into a discussion about the causes and effects of pollution in our own environment. ]]> 2019-06-05 19:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365948091 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365951002 This website gives some information about pollution and then lists out several fun and interactive games for students to play that will teach them about pollution. I would use this as a warm up time before we get back into learning about pollution. ]]> 2019-06-05 20:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365951002 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365952395 I would have the students research various ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Then they would use the information they found to make a "How to Save the Planet" poster. They would put the information they found down on the poster in a creative and fun way, and then we would do a gallery walk to see everyone's posters.]]> 2019-06-05 20:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/365952395 ar07259 https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/366113532 This website is a great tool to explain the relationship between humans and the environment. It discusses the topic in developmentally appropriate language, so my students would be able to easily understand the topics. I would have my students use this website in pairs. I would have them look over the information and find three facts that they think are important or interesting to share with the whole class. ]]> 2019-06-06 13:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ar07259/uoitfm0c4x3r/wish/366113532
