Environmental Health Hazards and Children

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students are introduced to the environmental hazards their community is facing. In groups, they develop a list of the ways humans have changed the Earth and how these changes have lead to environmental hazards. They record their observations on what types of pollution they see during a week and graph the results. To end the lesson, they role-play the various roles within a food chain and how insecticides can interrupt the cycle.
