  1. Lessons 11-13 – Description: Modeling Residential Pollution Impacts: Using National Geographic’s “Explore the Chesapeake” interactive website and several other online and article based resources, students produce a ‘report card’ for the health of the Chesapeake Bay and compare it to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s annual Bay Report. Unit Goals: List and describe the pollution problems associated with the Bay. Lesson Objectives: Interpret data regarding the health of the Chesapeake Bay and other natural resources. Identify human activities and other factors that contribute to watershed health issues. Analyze scientific evidence to evaluate different indicators of bay health. Use geographic skills to identify connections between indicators and the factors that influence them.

  4. Think about… Answer the following questions now that we’ve seen the impacts we have on each other and our water ways: Who was most effected by the pollution and why? What materials were most damaging to properties and water ways? Whose responsibility is it to clean the trash? Can do you prove where the trash came from? Why? What could be done to enable living on the water more eco-friendly? Should there be laws requiring these homes use pollution prevention?
