Lesson Summary
Students explore the ways that we are connected to the ocean through the ways we impact it. They begin by completing a prior knowledge activity to help them understand that our connection to the oceans can be split into two categories: the ways we need the ocean and the ways we impact it. Students then think about some of the ways we impact the ocean before focusing on plastic waste. They watch a clip from Take 3 For The Sea and reflect on some of the themes around plastic waste described in this clip. They use these themes to identify gaps in their knowledge around plastic waste and create questions around these knowledge gaps that can be used to guide an inquiry.
