War On Waste - Plastic Waste In Our Ocean

Students explore the problem of plastic waste in our oceans. They begin by exploring their prior knowledge by creating a mind-map around the term ‘plastic waste’. They then conduct a SEE THINK WONDER activity around an image from War On Waste before finding out how plastic waste harms marine life. Students then view and reflect on a range of artworks that have been created in response to the problem of plastic waste in our oceans, and are scaffolded to draft and create their own artwork around this problem.
