Teaching tips
Positives
- Every page can be used as a coloring page, which is great for early finishers!
- Students will love the opportunity to draw a picture of themselves on the first page, giving them a connection to the activity.
Prerequisites
- Teachers may need to define the terms pollution and stormwater runoff before assigning the activity pages.
- Pages 4 and 5 connect to become one large page, so teachers should be mindful of this while printing.
Differentiation & Implementation
- After completing the Help STOP Stormwater Pollution coloring sheet, students can draw other examples of how pollution could make animals feel.
- Teachers can use these pages as morning work to get students ready to learn about watersheds, pollution, and stormwater runoff.
- Students with dyslexia may need an alternative assignment instead of the word search page.
