Yellow Fish Road

Elementary, Middle

Description

The Yellow Fish Road resource connects young people from all across the country who care about clean water preservation. The program helps youth to educate fellow community members about their water supply, the impact of water pollution on the health of a community and the need to protect our watersheds. In this project, students paint yellow fish on storm drains in school neighbourhoods and distribute fish hangers to homes in order to raise awareness of the importance of the proper disposal of hazardous wastes.

Students will learn about:

  • the water cycle
  • watersheds and how human activities affect them
  • some of the ways in which humans are polluting their environment
  • the impact of pollution on human, animal and ecological health
  • how to complete an action project that raises awareness and changes human behaviours that affect water quality
