Plastic is everywhere – so much so, that we might as well give Planet Earth a new name: “Planet Plastic”.
Explore the environmental issues of plastic waste, pollution and solutions in this 2-page set of eco-worksheets I created just for you.
The worksheets encourage you to consider all the different types of plastic, non-recyclable products we use in our everyday lives, as well as explore solutions to the problem.
In these worksheets, you will:
- find out about some clever inventions and innovations with plastic,
- learn ecological vocabulary,
- discuss ocean pollution,
- investigate the plastics problem further with website links provided.
Suitable for anyone aged 9-14 years or older. The worksheets can be used for independent study, but as they have interactive and discussion-based activities built in, you may prefer to complete them with someone else or in a group (online or in-person), so you can benefit from sharing ideas, research and debate on the topics they cover.
Why not start off your research by reading about Single-use Plastics here or Prep Your Plastics here?
