- 6. Procedure (see Lesson Plan for the rest…) - Show photographs, implement a guided activity and ask essential questions! * Not all trash in the sea is bad, some is put there for plants to grow on, but as stated, other trash pollutes. - Review the directions with the students before having them begin the project, making sure that a variety of materials are accessible to every student. Guided Activity: Have the children sort between a bin of objects of recycled and non-recyclable items (i.e. used paper materials, all Styrofoam, aluminum, soiled cardboard, tempered/windowpane glass, etc.)
- 7. …And here is the Final Product!
- 8. Essential/Key Questions/Discussion In using recycled materials, what have you (as the children) learned about being resourceful and utilizing objects other than their natural use? To review, what does it mean to recycle? What is pollution? A renewable resource? How did the objects that Ariel found on the ocean floor get to be where they were? Out of the materials that you and your classmates used, what were some of the original uses for these products? What is the material that you notice was used the most in looking at everybody else’s grottos? Are there any materials that you could add to your project or that you wish you hadn’t used?
