I know some of the causes of pollution. |
Level 4 |
I can describe what happens because of acid rain / global warming and of other types of pollution. I know it is important to monitor and control pollution. I know that rocks are weathered and can describe the effect of acid rain on rocks. |
Level 5 |
I understand the importance of monitoring and controlling the effects of pollution. |
Level 6 |
I can describe how acid rain is produced in terms of a chemical reaction between oxides and water. I can write word equations to show how acid rain is produced. I can describe how acid rain affects rocks, building materials and living things. I can describe how air and water pollution are monitored and how they might be controlled. I can distinguish between different environmental problems. |
| Level 7 | I can describe a variety of environmental issues and explain the implications of these. I understand that acid in the atmosphere causes weathering and corrosion in building materials and rocks. I can explain the effects of acid rain using chemical symbols and equations. I can describe the steps taken locally/nationally/globally to control pollution. |
