__Knowledge Questions:__

1. What effect does industry cause our planet? It releases smoke into our atmosphere and it make our ozone layer thicker which means some heat waves will be trapped between the ozone layer and the earth which makes the earth warmer. 2. Why is industry bad to our planet? Industry is bad to our planet because in the process of manufacturing it lets out a large amount of smoke which rises into the atmosphere. 3. Should we or the government ban industry? Why? No, because if we do then factories then there will be a lot less of each product to share around the place. It will also make everything more expensive. 4. What is the definition of industry? Industry means a branch of a craft, art, business, or manufacture. 5. How does industial pollution affect our health? Ozone pollution can cause respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease , throat inflammation, chest pain, and congestion. Water pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths per day, mostly due to contamination of drinking water by untreated sewage in developing countries. Studies have estimated that the number of people killed annually in the US could be over 50,000. Oil spills can cause skin irritations and rashes. Noise pollution induces hearing loss, high blood pressure , stress , and sleep disturbance. In children and neurologic symptoms. Older people are majorly exposed to diseases induced by air pollution. Those with heart or lung disorders are under additional risk. Children and infants are also at serious risk. Lead and other heavy metals have been shown to cause neurological problems. Chemical and radioactive substances can cause cancer and <span class="wiki_link_ext">as well as birth defects. 6. Why is industrial pollution a bad thing? Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances, or energy, such as noise, heat, or light. Pollutants, the elements of pollution, can be foreign substances or energies, or naturally occurring; when naturally occurring, they are considered contaminants when they exceed natural levels. 7. Describe what will happen if we pollute the earth? if we continue to pollute it at the current rate we will see more consequences like global warming and extinction of species. The rate of change that is occurring right now due to our polluting of the earth is believed to be, by some scientists, at the same rate as the extinction of the dinosaurs. So, maybe we will be extinct in the near future unless we stop polluting the earth. 8. When was the first factory made? About 150 years ago. 9. What type of industry affects our world most? Chemical Pollution is when chemicals are exposed to the environment, either by dumping them into sewage plants, where excess waste ends up in the ground. A good example of this is nuclear waste. This needs to be treated carefully or else it could completely destroy an area. 10. What type of factory affects our world least? Noise pollution is when a factory causes a lot of noise... enough to effect the surrounding environment. 11. How does industry pollution affect the animals? Animals or marine animals are highly affected by the industrial pollution which is discharged into the rivers and seas. The wastes include toxic materials which when go under the water emission certain poisonous reactions which pollutes the water in the oceans. The sea animal which is mostly affected by water pollution is 'fish'. 12. Which country has the most industrial pollution? In the United States it is estimated that 50% of their pollution is caused by industry. It is a serious problem that affects our entire planet, especially in nations which are rapidly industrializing,like China. the most industrial pollution is...

__Comprehension Questions:__

1. What if we didn't have the factories at all to begin with? If our world didn't have factories to start with, then everything would become more and more expensive because there would be a large difference in the total number of products. If we had no factories then not everyone would have the appliances that we need now everyday. We would have to make things ourselves which will take a very long time. 2. Can we stop any pollution caused by factories? We can't completely stop every little pollution caused by pollution, but we can definitely reduce the mount of pollution caused by industries ! 3. Why are the numbers of factories increasing? The number of factories are increasing because people nowadays are buying more and more. So the factory owners build more factories, that will make more products, in order to make more money. 4 What are the advantages of factories? Factories manufacture products that we use daily like vehicles, furniture, food, and other accessories. Factories make the process of making things a lot quicker because of the number of machines they use to manufacture. 5. What are the disadvantages of factories? Factories let out smoke that pollute the earth in the process of manufacturing products. It also takes up a lot of spaces. The machines in factories also need to be manufactured, which means even more pollution. Also factories produce a large amount of waste. 6. What will happen if we do not prevent this pollution to continue? I f we continue to pollute it at the current rate we will see more consequences like global warming and extinction of species. The rate of change that is happening right now because of our polluting is believed to be, the same as the extinction of the dinosaurs. So, we may be extinct in the future unless we stop polluting the earth. 7. What will happen if we stop having factories? Imagine how many people work in these factories and what it would be like for them to lose their job they depend on to live. We will lose all those products or paying very high prices for them in future then you can think about factories closing down. 8.What type of product creates most pollution?

9.What is one possible way that we can produce less pollution? One way that we can make less pollution is reducing the amount of chemicals we use on bugs that we think are 'pests'. About 90% of bugs we think are garden pests are beneficial, so we don't have to waste so much chemicals that is polltuing our world. If the bugs really need to be killed, the are other alternatives we could use like water and 'green' products on sale. also we could plant marigolds in our garden to make the insects go away.

10.Is there any type of product that doesn't release any pollution during the manufacturing stage?

__Synthesis Questions:__

1. Create a plan that could reduce he amount of pollution created by industry. We could start reusing all the things we have or using renewable sources.

2.Design a new type of factory that won't do as much pollution to our world than the other types.

3. Create a plan that could inform people around the area to know about the pollution caused by factories.
