This resource explores the causes and effects of water pollution using the example of Clearwater Creek, a once pristine location now threatened by pollutants. It distinguishes between point source and non-point source pollution and introduces key terminologies such as contamination, watershed, and water treatment. Students are engaged through various activities including a mini-lab on water filtration, a think-pair-share exercise categorizing different pollution sources, and a real-world case study of the Cuyahoga River cleanup. The document emphasizes the importance of community action and individual responsibility in protecting local water sources, prompting reflection and personal commitments towards water conservation.
