Georgia Habitats and the way pollution affects them

TABLE OF CONTENTS • • • Georgia Performance Standards Review of Habitats 5 Habitats in the state of Georgia A virtual walk across Georgia The environment in balance Types of Pollution Video on Air Pollution Essential Question Cookie Activity

Georgia Performance Standard: • S 3 L 1 • Description: S 3 L 1 Students will investigate the habitats of different organisms and the dependence of organisms on their habitat. • Elements: a. Differentiate between habitats of Georgia (mountains, marsh/swamp, coast, Piedmont, Atlantic Ocean) and the organisms that live there. d. Explain what will happen to an organism if the habitat is changed.

Review Habitats, Ecosystems, and Environments Example • All the living and nonliving things that interact in a place • Everything around a living thing • The place in an ecosystem where an animal or plant lives What it is • Ecosystem • Environment • Habitat

What are the 5 habitats in the state of Georgia? 1. Mountains 2. Piedmont 3. Coastal Plain 4. & 5. Atlantic Ocean and Wetlands

Describe each habitat… Mountains Land that rises to a point Coastal Plain Area near an ocean that is low and flat Piedmont Land that has a lot of hills Atlantic Ocean on the east side of Georgia Wetland Covered with water most of the time Examples: marshes, ponds, bogs, and swamps

Click here to learn about the environment in a walk across…Georgia to

Every environment is in balance. Being in balance means there are just enough of each kind of living thing. If there were too many plants or animals, the environment would not be in balance.

Pollution can also cause disruption to plant and animal life……

What are some different types of pollution that can affect a habitat? • Air Pollution • Water Pollution • Thermal Pollution caused by Deforestation • Light Pollution

e asiv e rit w I o d How r… e lett su r e ap Persuasive writing is a type of writing where your main goal is to persuade or convince someone to do something that you want them to do. A form of persuasive writing is a letter written to someone telling him or her a complaint that you have. In order to write a persuasive letter you need to have reasons why the person should do what you are suggesting. • Try to make your letters or pieces of writing as convincing as you can! Give reasons to support your cause and explain what the consequences will be if the things you are listing aren't done. Lastly, your conclusion should restate what you are trying to persuade the person to do. •

Let’s Break it down! Things to think about…. • Purpose: I want to argue in favor of : ________. (What do I hope to accomplish? Why is it important? What problems would be eliminated? How would other people be affected? • About you: Why do you want to argue in favor of ________? What makes your opinion important? How would the decision affect you? • About your reader: I need to convince _____________. (Who is the person that has the power to change the situation? Why would they not want to listen to your idea? ) Here are some ideas to start with: • I want to argue for better air to breath. • I want Allatoona Lake to be cleaner. • I want to argue for more recycling centers in our school. • I want less trees to be cut down in Georgia. • I think we should be able to recycle for free.
