More Plastic, More Problems: Using Ratios to Get Real
Lesson Plan (Gr. 6)
Lesson Plan (Gr. 6)
During this lesson, students will design devices that remove garbage from the Pacific Gyre while minimizing the number of animals collected. They will create diagrams of their devices. Students will also gather, analyze and display data to look for patterns. Finally, they will create a video that addresses the problem, their research questions, their process and final solution in order to seek funding to fully develop their solution.
Grade Level: 6
ObjectivesStudents will:• Design and build a device to propose as a tool for garbage removal.• Explain the purpose of the criteria and constraints in relation to design success.• Explain how materials work together to support the function of their device/prototype.• Develop clear arguments for the importance of cleaning up the natural world.
Grade Levels in adaptations(Appendix A)3, 4, 8, 9-12.After school/expanded learningDurationFive to seven 50-minute sessions

Plastic Pollution & You Curriculum (Gr 3-12)
MarineDebris-PlasticPollutionAndYou.pdf“Plastic Pollution and You,” published by New York Sea Grant, is a 15-lesson curriculum focused on marine debris sources, impacts, and solutions. These hands-on lessons and activities help students learn the different types of plastics, their impact on marine and freshwater ecosystems, and about ways to address and prevent plastic pollution. Interdisciplinary elements of this curriculum include policy research, environmental justice, and effective outreach and communication strategies. The curriculum is designed to be appropriate for multiple grade levels, meet New York State and Next Generation Science Standards, and align with several regional environmental action plans. Educators from New York who are interested in getting involved in future revisions to the curriculum can connect with New York Sea Grant through their website.

Build a Storm Drain Design Challenge Lesson Plan (Gr 3-8)
Build a Storm Drain Design Challenge Lesson Plan (Gr 3-8)
Introduction In this design challenge, you'll be designing a storm drain cover that catches litter in order to protect our waterways. By thinking about the kind of waste that might wash into storm drains and then into waterways, you can consider immediate, localized action as well as larger systems that can protect our planet. While the initial activity can be around 45 minutes, don’t be surprised if you find yourself spending 60 minutes or more perfecting your creation and even researching the impact of humans on earth and how we can protect the planet. Design Challenge Create a storm drain cover that can keep trash out while letting water pass through in order to protect our waterways.
