Plastic in the Ocean is a project aimed at educating learners about the negative environmental effects of plastic. Over the course of four lessons, the learners are taught what plastic is, why it is bad for the environment and what can be done to address this environmental problem. As well as fun and interactive lessons the learners are given the opportunity to explore the local area collecting litter/plastic, putting what they have learned in the classroom lessons into context with the real-world. This resource is for teachers to use in sciences IDL for Second (P5-P7).

When you mix the dry ingredients you make a mixture — look at it with a hand lens, or USB microscope, and talk about how it can be physically separated back out using a fine sieve. Mix the water and food colouring, making a solution. You can add oil and show that it won’t mix in — link to density and miscibility…… This resource is for teachers, learners, parents and carers to use in Sciences for Early: age 3 to P1 (3-6 years old) First: P2-P4 (5-9 years old) Second: P5-P7 (8-12 years old).
