Plastic waste impacts our marine environment in a number of ways.
In this lesson, students will sort litter items into their raw materials, look into properties and degradation times of various litter items and consider the effects this has on the environment.
They’ll also create a fair test, develop a hypothesis, observe changes, record date and draw conclusions.
Includes fact file to support teaching, Litter Timeline activity, investigation worksheet, and links to follow-up learning.
Linked to national curriculum in England, Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland, Curriculum for Wales, and Eco-Schools topics.
