Our oceans are littered with tens of thousands of tons of plastic trash. The trash is worn down to bits that look like confetti by the waves and sun. This collection of plastic confetti has formed gigantic mountains of trash that circulate and move around with the ocean currents. The largest of these currents is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Students will learn all about the hazards and impacts of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch on ocean ecosystems. Next they will construct and simulate their own Great Pacific Garbage Patch as a group to simulate the real-world experience.
