Water Pollution

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Examine water pollution and legislation through this reading comprehension worksheet, intended to correspond with a specific text but valuable even without it. Learners read 10 sentences, unscrambling the bold word to complete each (i.e. "Dumping raw sewage is an illegal act."). They then complete a chart comparing the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Clean Water Act, using 7 key pieces of information to fill in 7 blank spaces.
