Water Pollution Lesson Plan: How Oil Spills Affect Ocean Animals

Submitted by: Rebekka Stasny

3-5

In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 3 to 5, students use BrainPOP resources to determine causes of ocean oil spills and explore how birds, marine mammals, and fish are affected by oil spills. Students will also identify ways to clean the water and animals after an oil spill, and create a public awareness poster of the effects of oil spills in the ocean and ways to help keep the oceans clean.
