Dirty Pond Rescue



Category Activities
Time to allocate (mins) 20
Outcome Discuss our natural resources other than water that we need to preserve whilst doing the activity
Resources A clear tub/bucket with water

Add “pollution”:  Paper bits (litter),  Oil (cooking oil), Soil/sand
Instructions

With the Cubs, add the pollution items as you ask them to think about what pollutes our rivers.

Then ask them to "undo" the pollution.

Give Cubs tools:
Spoons / sieves (remove litter)
Paper towels (absorb oil)
Cloth or filter (clean water)

Discussion:
Can we make it perfect again?
Why is preventing pollution better than cleaning it?
