Create a ‘Consequences’ diagram to show all the effects of pollution. You could start your diagram like this – pollution creates growth of algae – algae reduces the amount of oxygen in the water – fish don’t get enough oxygen… Continue your diagram to show how one part of the river or lough ecosystem being damaged can effect many other parts. Display your diagram to the rest of the class. For more information see:
