CLIL
SCIENCE
There are many kinds of pollution. Air, water, and land can be polluted. Some pollution is
caused by nature, such as floods, forest fires, and volcanoes. People are the major cause of pollution.
We pollute the air with our cars, homes, and factories. We pollute the water by dumping garbage and
chemicals in the water. We pollute the soil with chemicals and garbage. We harm the land by cutting
down trees in the forest, especially to build roads and new houses without careful planning and
thinking.

All people need water to drink and to make plants grow. Rivers and lakes are polluted when
sewage or garbage is dumped into the water. Plants and animals die because of the pollution in the
water. Other pollution in water is caused by oil spills. The oil often stays on top of the water. It covers
the beaches and land. It gets on the fish, birds, and animals that live in, on, and around the water.

Particulates are tiny bits of liquid or solid matter that get in the air. Cars and factories put
particulates in the air, and this makes the air looks gray and smoggy. Usually the wind helps the air
pollutants to move around, but when the air doesn’t move, pollutants stay in the air. Some people
cannot go outside when the air is very bad.

The only way to save our environment is to think about pollution. How can you stop or limit
pollution? How do we protect our environment?

Conservation is one way to protect our environment. Conservation is the wise use and
protection of our environment. We can control water pollution by not producing as much waste and by
proper disposal of sewage and garbage. We can take care of recreation land by cleaning up after
ourselves and not causing more pollution. Carpooling and public transportation will help reduce air
pollution. Recycling is a type of conservation.

Recycling is reusing items over again or in a new way. Recycling can help us conserve our
natural resources so they will last many more years.

Answer the questions.

1) What is one thing at your school that you can do to conserve natural resources?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________.

2) 1. What are two things that you can you do to stop pollution?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________.
