Lorax Day 3

Today we did a review on what pollution is and how it can harm us. Then we looked at how we can help the planet.

Pollution in The Lorax

• Water Pollution: All the Gluppity-Glupp and all the Schloppity-Schlopp made by the machinery is being dumped into the pond.
• What happens to the fish when you put all of this pollution into the water?
• Can you think of some other problems this might cause? ( No drinking water, no swimming)
• Air Pollution: The smogulous smoke being put in the air by the Thneed factory made the Lorax cough, whiff, sneeze, snuffle, snarggle, sniffle, and croak. The Swomee-Swans were no longer able to sing! The Lorax had to send the birds away to find some cleaner air to live in.
• Is air pollution only dangerous for birds?
• Where are our lungs? How do they work?
• How does breathing dirty air affect humans? (Breathing dirty air damages our lungs and makes us sick.)
