Pollution Control Devices - Informational Science Article This informational science article explores the past, present, and future of pollution control devices. Students will learn how catalytic converters and scrubbers work to reduce harmful emissions from cars and power plants. The reading comprehension activity is designed for grades 5-7. It tackles literacy and science standards by having students read a scientific article, define key terms, and answer knowledge, thinking, connecting, and open-ended questions. This engaging 40-60 minute activity works for in-class or distance learning. It helps improve reading comprehension, analysis skills, and scientific literacy. An answer key is included. Teachers can use this as an introduction to a unit, sub plan, extension task, or assessment of literacy abilities.
