STAGNANT

 

In a body of water - having no current which often results in an unpleasant smell. 

Showing no activity - dull or sluggish. 

 

 

On the hottest day of the year, the smell from the stagnant lake was worse than ever. 

 

The stagnant pool of water couldn't have looked less inviting. 

 

The river that had once flowed gently through the town, now lay still and stagnant.

Now please have a go at matching the following words to their definitions. 

 

Now let's consider examples of drugs we know based on the definitions we have just looked at. Copy out the table and fill it in with your own examples. If you aren't sure about a substance, for example, you don't know at what age it is legal to drink alcohol, you should ask someone. Some items you might want to include are: wine, cigarettes, aspirin, coffee, etc. If you haven't got time to fill out the table, simply discuss it with someone.

Consider the questions above, now discuss the following questions with someone: 

What benefits do animals get if they live in a zoo? 

What sort of things can we learn if we visit a zoo? 

Are there any disadvantages for animals that live in zoos? Consider such things such as space, company, temperature, flight, nocturnal, etc. 

Where do zoos get their money from to look after the animals?
