Brief Description
-
This kiosk has a blue sliding handle in the front. When slid from side to side, it shows the differences between a pond that has been polluted, and a pond with clean water. There are three small windows that show only a portion of a graphic at one time.
-
In Depth Description
-
When the handle is slide to the right, it shows what animals are likely to be alive. The illustrations show a variety of animals that can live with different levels of pollution. Animals that can live in only very clean water include dragonfly larva, damselfly larve, and copepods. Animals that can live with some pollution include rotifer, water boatman beetles, and daphnia. Animals that can live in very polluted water include lunged snails and aquatic worms.
When the handle is slid partially to the left, the portion of the illustration shown changes. Fewer of the animals that require very clean water are shown, and more of the animals that can live in very polluted water. When the handle is slid all the way to the left, then only the animals that can live in very polluted water are shown.
