POLLUTION: A GLOBAL PROBLEM

PROJECT
POLLUTION: A GLOBAL PROBLEM
If we have a look at any ecosystem we could find multiple forms of contamination, streams full
of toxic chemicals from industrial processes, rivers overloaded with nutrients from farms, trash
blowing away from landfills and city skies covered in smog. Even landscapes that appear
pristine can experience the effects of pollution sources located hundreds of thousands of miles
away.
In order to understand pollution at global level students from Class 7 and 8 were
exposed to the vast information regarding the global causes and effects of pollution.
The project was launched through simple activities like slogan writing, poster making and
Civic Movement. Gradually essay writing competition and banner preparation was followed. A
seminar was conducted on the topic Global pollution which updated the students knowledge.
A Quiz competition was conducted which helped the students to enrich their
knowledge about global issues regarding pollution.
Students enjoyed presenting slide shows on Acid rain and Green house effect.
Vanamahotsava programme was celebrated where students not only planted few valuable
plants in the school campus but also donated plants to the neighboring schools.
Ozone Day was celebrated by conducting a special assembly where students
performed a small skit to understand the hazards of ODSs.
Students got an opportunity to go through a wide range of activities in which the
students learnt, explored, designed, innovated and proudly exhibited their models, charts,
banners, slogans etc. in the Science exhibition.

Air pollution in China and India were displayed and pamphlets regarding cleanliness were
