Facts or Myths Answer Key

Students determine whether each statement about pollution is true or false, evaluating claims about air, water, soil, and noise pollution. The activity helps students correct common misconceptions and reinforces accurate environmental science knowledge. By analyzing each statement, learners strengthen reasoning and awareness of how pollution spreads, harms ecosystems, and can be prevented. An extra challenge encourages students to explain why a false belief might seem convincing and then clarify the truth, promoting metacognitive thinking.
