Toxic chemicals found in beached pilot whales in Scotland
Concepts of Thinking: Spatial Significance, Interrelationships, Patterns and Trends, Geographic Perspective
Inquiry: Why might age contribute to the increases levels of mercury and cadmium. How might increased levels of these chemicals contribute to the whales beaching themselves? Where could these chemicals have come from?
Activity: Create a spatial journal of where these whales were beached (What is where?). Add to it possible locations where mercury and cadmium could have entered the water (Why there?). As well add other locations where whales have beached themselves. Analyse the patterns and trends that may appear, investigate the stakeholders and make suggestions how to ensure this does not happen in the future (Why Care?).
