This document is a summary of a science WebQuest for 6th grade students about pollution. The WebQuest guides students through learning about pollution and how it affects the environment. It then teaches students about reducing, reusing and recycling (3Rs) to help address pollution problems. Students work in groups to create a poster about a pollution problem and solution using one of the 3Rs. They then evaluate each other's posters. In the conclusion, students are congratulated on learning how individual actions can help address pollution and protect the environment.

As new members of the Kids-in-action you have learned how pollution affects the Earth and how you can help protect the Earth through the 3Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle. You visited several websites, saw videos, and completed a beautiful poster to tell people how important it is to keep the Earth free from pollution by reducing, reusing, and recycling. You now know that as living things, we need clean land, air, and water to live. It is important to keep the Earth healthy so that we can be healthy, too!
