A Little Bit Of Rubbish Goes A Long Way

This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. In this lesson, students visit a series of sensory touch tables to investigate different waste materials and the properties of these materials. Using their scientific inquiry skills, students record their findings in a data table. They then consider the definition of rubbish and how recycling helps to reduce the amount of waste in our environment. Finally, students learn about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and discuss ways we can help to reduce plastic pollution in our oceans.
