On a sheet of paper write the differences and similarities between the two loughs.
Choose one of the loughs as a focus. Create a spider diagram with the name of the lough at the centre. Around this, write all the people, jobs and wildlife that depend on the loughs. Then, try to think of the other things that may depend on these people, jobs and/or wildlife. Add these to the diagram.
Create a collage to show the variety of life and activity around the lough you have chosen to research. Use the following site for video clips demonstrating the construction of a mural based upon Strangford Lough.
