  2. Content Area: Science • Grade Level: 6 • Summary: The purpose of this power point is to identify three of the major types of water pollution and the impact that pollution has on the environment • Learning Objective: Given media that defines and describes different types of pollution, the students will research pollution and complete a power point quiz with 100% accuracy. • Content Standard: 0607. Use evidence from a dataset to determine cause and effect relationships that explain a phenomenon. • Accomplishment: 0607. Identify a faulty interpretation of data that is due to bias or experimental error.

  3. Nearly 75% of the Earth is covered in water. Therefore, water pollution is a problem that affects us all. Today we will be focusing on three different types of pollutants: • Inorganic Pollutants • Macroscopic Pollutants • Organic Pollutants

  4. Inorganic Pollutants Inorganic Pollutants are chemical substances that are man-made or man-modified and that are not naturally found inthe environment in which they are placed. Oil Spills Click on the link to watch a video about Oil Spills

  5. Macroscopic Pollutants Macroscopic Pollutants are large, visible items that pollute water. Some examples of macroscopic pollution are trash and shipwrecks. Trash Island

  6. Organic Pollutants Organic Pollution occurs when copious amounts of organic substances enter a body of water. This can cause imbalances in the water’s oxygen levels and can seriously damage ecosystems. Sewage Pollution

  7. POP QUIZ TIME!

  8. Which is NOT an example of Inorganic Pollution? • Oil Spill • Sewage Leak • Pesticide

  9. Correct! A sewage leak is a type of Organic Pollution.

  10. Where is the largest “trash island” located? • Between South America and Africa • Off the coast of Australia • In the Pacific Ocean between California and Japan

  11. Correct! In some places it is over 90 feet deep!

  12. Why are Organic Pollutants dangerous? • They introduce new bacterium into an environment that the native species do not have defenses against. • They change the oxygen content of the water. • Both of the above.

  13. Correct! Often, native species cannot survive because of the changes caused by Organic Pollutants.

  14. Good Job! We have reviewed Inorganic, Macroscopic, and Organic water pollution and the detrimental effects they have on the environment The Power Point is now complete.
