Videos – useful classroom resources
Videos can effectively be used in the classroom to engage students and reinforce lesson content about environmental science topics like water pollution. They appeal to visual learners and stimulate discussion. This document outlines how video clips showing real-world examples of water pollution, its effects, and stakeholder perspectives could be incorporated into a lesson on human impacts to water resources. The clips would grab students' attention, help them understand issues like contaminated drinking water, and spark cooperative group work and online discussion to further learning. Using videos makes the environmental science content more relevant and authentic by connecting it to real-world problems.
