Classwork:

Review of the vocab words

  • ecosystem
  • food web
  • food chain
  • watershed
  • runoff
  • sediment
  • non point source pollution
  • point source pollution


We discussed the problem of dirty water in places like China and how it relates to the vocab word of runoff.  We then created groups for preparation of the Great Lakes.  The 3 groups are:

  1. POLLUTION
  2. INVASIVE SPECIES
  3. HABITAT LOSS
All groups are divided in two sides: Boosters and Doomers.
Boosters are always looking at the improvements of the Great Lakes and how it can benefit tourism and business.
Doomers are always looking for the negative of the destruction of the Great Lakes and always want to warn the public. 
Homework: Tell your parents what group you are and what side you represent!
