1. Explain in your own words what 'global warming' is and give one example of its effect.
💡 Solution Steps:
Global warming is when the Earth's average temperature slowly gets hotter over time. This happens because of things like pollution from cars and factories. One example of its effect is that some places might experience more extreme weather, like stronger storms or longer droughts, and ice in cold regions can melt.
2. Imagine you want to start a small project at your school to help with a global issue. Which issue would you choose and what would be one activity you could do?
💡 Solution Steps:
I would choose the issue of waste and pollution. One activity I could do is organize a school-wide recycling drive. We could collect plastic, paper, and aluminum cans and make sure they get recycled properly. This would help reduce the amount of trash going into landfills.
3. Why is having access to clean water a global issue, and who does it affect?
💡 Solution Steps:
Having access to clean water is a global issue because many people around the world do not have enough safe water to drink, cook with, or stay clean. This problem affects millions of people, especially in poorer countries, leading to health problems and making it hard for children to go to school or for adults to work.
