**Activity: Changes in the
Environment
• Each group will be given
a poster board, materials
(i.e. glue, markers), and
various pictures of the
different types of changes
in the environment.
• Students will be able to
identify the changes in the
environment by
categorizing them
according to pollution,
weather, time, or human
alteration.
• Students will write a brief
summary of how they can
help improve the
environment.
• Students will present their
poster board to the class
with a reflection of how
they can improve the
environment and keep
Guam clean.

explain how to
accommodate our non-
verbal student and the
teacher’s helper.)

have learned about the changes in
the environment.

What have we learned?
