I will make a list of examples of plastics that enter the ocean and their sources. What problems do these pollutants make for marine life?

I can use an aquarium or large glass container to simulate what plastic in the ocean may look like.

I will think of ways that I can reduce the amount of waste I produce.

I will be conscious of my actions and how they affect the planet.
