Pollution Observations

Name: ____________________________

1. How much did you find? Was it more or less than you expected?

2. Where did it settle, i.e. floating on surface, stuck in vegetation, etc.?

3. Was it near animals? Or are there animals around at all? If there were animals nearby, how do
you think theyre affected?

4. What was the source(s) of the pollution?

5. How long has the pollutant been there? Are there signs of degradation?

6. Does the pollution in our body of water (Duck Pond) only affect that area or does it extend to
other environments and water sources?
