Conclusion
 Students will individually complete their 2 stars and a wish section of their
science journal reflecting on presentation and overall project
 Class will come together for whole class discussion to reflect on semester project
discussing what they learnt, what they liked/disliked and what other areas of the
topic they would like to learn about if given the opportunity to study water
pollution again

LEARNER DIVERSITY
 During presentations students can feel encouraged to present as they are doing so in
groups instead of individual public speaking which can be nerve-wracking for some
students. Lesson incorporate self-reflection where students can focus on where they feel
their strengths and weaknesses are
