Contaminación por plástico: aprendizaje práctico basado en proyectos de ciencias ambientales

Every week contains a short video clip  (less than 5 minutes in length) recorded outdoors illustrating the week's concept, as well as a second short video recorded in my office. Every week includes a printable to facilitate a hands-on activity in which students create, experiment, and engineer concepts related to plastic pollution. 
I am very responsive to all questions and love to have students share their designs and creations with me! This class offers a fun alternative to lecture-based classes. Students can expect to spend more time completing activities than watching videos. 

Parents can expect their student to learn the following vocabulary:
Renewable vs. nonrenewable resources
Fossil Fuels (coal, oil, & natural gas)
Plastics & Microplastics
Hypothesis & experimental design

Most importantly, parents can expect motivated kids to participate in an experiment, design solutions for real-world problems, and use graphic organizers to compile their knowledge. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Plastic pollution is a big problem and this class is only an introduction.
