It's All Downstream From Here
In this lesson, students make observations about what is in their classroom trash receptacle (or various trash items brought by instructor). Students then go outside to collect trash from the surrounding area and record what they find using the NAMEPA Trash Data form. The class then looks at the data they have collected and makes inferences about sources, origins and most common types of marine debris. This is a great lesson to do in a coastal area or near a waterway!
