Pollution Detectives: From Polluted Cities to Green Solutions
What is this project about?
Students explore how pollution (from cars, factories, and waste) affects their own community by collecting photos, observations, and stories from their local area. They share their findings with a partner class in another country to compare pollution...
- Age of Students
- 9-12 years
- Project Duration
- 4 weeks
- Starting Month
- August 2026
Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to identify and describe how pollution from cars, factories, and waste affects their local community and compare these observations with findings shared by partner classrooms internationally.
Students will be able to demonstrate collaborative problem-solving by working with international peers to propose practical solutions that address shared pollution challenges in their respective communities.
Skills to develop
Project Activities
Pollution Detective: Exploring Our City
Students explore what pollution is by watching short videos, discussing how it affects their community, and taking a guided walk or virtual tour to spot pollution sources (cars, factories, litter, smoke). They record observations and take photos to build a personal evidence collection.
Mapping Pollution & Building a Model City
Working in small groups, students research one type of pollution (air, water, soil, noise, or plastic), gather images and facts, then collaborate to build a cardboard model of a polluted city with factories, cars, and waste. Each group labels their pollution sources and prepares a short explanation of how their type affects the community.
Sharing Solutions with Our Partner Class
Students design and add green solutions to their polluted city model (solar panels, electric cars, recycling, green spaces) and create a simple comparison showing before and after. They exchange photos and findings with the partner class, review their peers' solutions, and give feedback on what works best.
Presenting Our Green City & Making a Pledge
Each group presents their polluted and green city models, explaining the problems they found and the solutions they built. The class writes and signs an eco-friendly pledge, reflecting on what they learned and what they will do to protect the Earth.
