Protect Our Planet: An Environmental Awareness WebQuest

Introduction

Have you ever wondered how human activities affect the Earth? From pollution to deforestation, our planet is facing many challenges. In this WebQuest, you will become an environmental investigator, exploring real-world information on environmental problems and discovering ways to protect our planet. By the end of this activity, you will propose an actionable plan to raise awareness in your community.

Task

Your mission is to create an environmental awareness campaign. This can be in the form of:

  • A digital poster

  • A slideshow presentation

  • A short video or infographic

Your campaign should highlight a specific environmental issue, explain its impact, and propose practical solutions that people can take in their daily lives.

Process
  • Choose an environmental topic – e.g., pollution, deforestation, climate change, water conservation, or recycling.

  • Research your topic using the online resources provided below. Take notes on causes, effects, and solutions.

  • Organize your information into categories: problem, impact, and solution.

  • Create your campaign product (poster, slideshow, video, or infographic).

  • Prepare a short presentation (2–3 minutes) to explain your campaign to your classmates.
