Fact or Fiction?
Pick one species that is endanger of
becoming extinct and produce a fact
file on it. It should include:
 Information about the species
 Reasons why it is becoming
extinct
 Ways to stop it dying out
Pupils are to give a power point
presentation on the causes of acid rain
and its effects on the environment,
wildlife etc. Details of the gases
involved in causing acid rain and how
these gases were produced are
required for the presentation. They can
also discuss ideas on how the
production of these gases could be
reduced in the future.

feasibility of space travel in our
lifetime? What would be needed to
explore our Universe? What are the
costs? What technology is needed?
What life support systems are needed?
How would we survive on other planets?
