Join us for this topical session exploring the impact single-use plastic is having on the environment and how they can make a positive change to help. Through the lens of our #OneLess campaign, students will get first-hand experience looking at what happens to plastic when it reaches our waterways. 

Intended Learning Outcomes

Student's will be able to:

  • state at least one reason why the ocean is important.
  • describe how litter from land-based sources reaches the ocean.
  • identify ways they can make a positive impact on the environment.
Age:  KS2 (7-11 year) Duration: 45 minutes Capacity: 35 Students Indoor Session

National Curriculum

KS2 Science Living things and Habitats Pupils should explore examples of human impact (both positive and negative) on environment, for example, the positive effects of nature reserves, ecologically planned parks, or garden parks, and the negative effects of population and development, litter or deforestation.
Working Scientifically Pupils should draw conclusions based on their data and observations, use evidence to justify their ideas, and use their scientific knowledge and understanding to explain their findings.
