6. You are asked to plan and design an experiment on solid air pollution from various different area in your school. In your planning include the following aspects ;
Objective of study Statement of hypothesis Experimental variable List of apparatus and materials Procedure Results / observation Conclusion
Water Pollution
1. In group of four, discuss the topic given:
Group 1 Agriculture waste can caused water contamination .(Related it with the
process of Eutrophication) What are the effects to the animals and plants habitat?
Group 2 The domestic waste and non biodegradable rubbish which flow to the
river causes water contamination. What are the effects to the human health?
Group 3 Oil spills in the river and sea can cause water pollution and what are the
effects to the animals and plants habitat?
Group 4 Industrial toxic waste flows to the river can cause water pollution. What
are the effects to the human health?
10
2. Complete the table below according to the information in the figure above
The whole process is called Eutrophication
Lack of oxygen cause aquatic organism dead
Plants dead because sunlight blocked by algae
Nitrate and Phosphate
fertilizer flow to the pond
Algae growth and cover the water surface
Vegetables farm with nitrate and phosphate fertilizer
Ponds full with nitrite and phosphate
fertilizer
11
The water pollution level can be measured by biochemical oxygen demand(B.O.D). What is the Biochemical Oxygen Demand?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. What is the B.O.D level to show the good quality of water. Explain why.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. You need to plan and design the experiment to determine the level of water pollution from river, pond, drain and water tab. In your planning include the following aspects;
Objective of study Statement of hypothesis Experiment variable List of apparatus and material Procedure Results / Observation Conclusion
5. Students are ask to discuss in group and write the report according to the following issues:
(a) “Air and water pollution in the developing area was increasing year by year. Residence increasing and construction lot of the road, high-rise building, new developing of housing area, increasing of industrial area and other infrastructure contribute to the increasing the pollution. ”
Discuss how the development increasing process mention above affected to the air and water pollution at that area.
(b) What are the actions can be taken to solve or avoid the problem of water and air pollution at that area mention (a)
12
Thermal Pollution
Releasing excess heat to the environment Interfere and dangerous to the human and other organism
Thermal Pollution
Water Reflection of mirror
Description Description
13
Noise Pollution
Noise intensity is measure in units decibel(dB) …………………….
This pollution normally take time to show the effect. The noise pollution happened when measured level more than 80…….
State 3 location where need the lower noise pollution
Noise pollution Lower location
Do the investigation to the machineries that you’ve seen. Observe the method which have taken to reduce the noise pollution.
Example : Silencer cylinder at exhaust motorcycle
Find another example which is suitable.

9.2 Greenhouse Effect And Thinning Of The Ozone
Greenhouse effect
Global Warming
Pollution is a worldwide issue Involve human activities
Examples of global warming
i. ………………………………….ii. ………………………………….iii. ………………………………….iv. ………………………………….
The effects of global warming.
Draw and label a diagram showing thinning of the ozone layer .
15
Measures taken
Increase in carbon dioxide and earth temperature.
Excessive emission of carbon dioxide is a phenomenon that should be controlled. Think of a way to overcome the excessive emission of carbon dioxide.
Thinning of the ozone layer
Ozone Ozone gas (O3 ) occurs naturally in the in the stratosphere layer( ozone layer)
which is 17-25 km above the Earth’s surface. There is evidence of ozone depletion Made up of 3 oxygen atoms
Effects of global warming
16
Give a few examples of substances/gas that will react with ozone molecule to form molecular oxygen

The Need Of Planned Development And Management Of Ecosystem
The human population of the world is increasing The increasing of human population will effects our ecosystem Have you ever think of the effects on the increasing of human population to the
ecosystem? Form four group discussions
Discuss the problems and effects on the on the increasing of human populationfrom aspects such as :
Aspect Discussion
1.Residential Area
2. Food supply
3. Socioeconomics problem
4. Ecosystem
19
The increasing of world population will contribute to the need of development. Development is vital to upgrade the quality of life. State three objectives of development:
1……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
3……………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Economic growth and rapid developmentmust take into account the efficient management of the ecosystem
Unplanned development will give adverse effects to the ecosystem There are some measures that can be taken in managing the development of the
ecosystem to ensure a balance of nature
Management of development and ecosystem is vital to the balance of environment for survival of living things.
From the above statement, construct a mind map and list down measures that should be taken into management of development and ecosystem before any development activities can be carry out from aspects such as:
20
1.
2.
Implementation of laws
The use of technology

Biological ControlPractices
The use of renewableenergy and efficient use of
energy

Class activity :Organise a forum in your class and appoint :
a. Forum chairmanb. First panel member as a representative from DOE (Department Of Environment)c. Second panel member as the Head Of Town Boardd. Third panel member as a representative from Nature Lovers’ Clube. A representative from the audience to comment or raised question to the
members of the panel question to the members of the panel
The discussion should encompass:
