Freddy the Fish
The story of Freddy the Fish is a good visual that shows students how various sources of pollution affect clear streams and eventually render the habitat unlivable for aquatic life. With this activity, the presenter sets up a fishbowl of water with a toy fish. A small amount of water and a variety of “pollutants” are added to Freddie’s environment to show how pollution affects wildlife. Safe, food grade materials are used to simulate pollutants.
1st – 3rd
Water Wonderful
