Designing Solutions for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: Day 1
In this 1st lesson in a series of 3, students learn about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. They create a model and write and defend a claim about humanity's ability to mitigate the problem. This lesson gives students the ability to actively engage in the learning process, think critically, and focus on real world problem solving.
The links to lesson 2 and 3 are included along with resources.

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course
Students will use evidence from an investigation to model and explain how thermal expansion of land and sea ice impact the sea level. They will quantify the impact of land ice melt and thermal
Students work their way through the first two parts of the engineering process in order to get a deeper understanding of an environmental problem- trash. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is certainly
