What educators are saying

Great resource to help my students stay focused and thinking about all the issues presented in the film.

— Shelley C.

Rated 5 out of 5

I was looking for a good ending activity when we were studying human impact on the ocean. This was perfect. Very informative and engaged the students.

Description

⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ A Plastic Ocean is an engaging, effective, and informative documentary about the causes, effects, and human impacts of plastics in our oceans. This download includes an editable video handout, PDF, and digital Google Slides version of the handout, and an answer key. You can find the full documentary on streaming sites or on DVD.

The handout includes 34 short answer questions that are timed in sequence to the video, and 6 summarizing and analysis questions. The first 34 questions are formatted short-answer style, however no answer is much longer than 1-3 words. The questions are spaced out so that they do not go too fast or too slow and encompass the entire film from start to finish. The digital Google Slides version has pre-formatted text boxes and appropriate spacing for digital use.

This assignment is perfect for an introduction or enrichment to human impact, the environment, and ocean ecosystems, and a great sub-plan for Biology, Ecology, and Environmental Science classes.

⭐ TOPICS INCLUDE ⭐

✔ Plastic Pollution

✔ Impacts of Plastics in Food Chains
✔ Biomagnification
✔ Bioaccumulation
✔ Human Impact
✔ The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
✔ Effects of Plastics on Human Health
✔ BPA

⭐ WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE ⭐
- Editable Student Handout in MS Word (2 Pages)

- PDF of Student Handout (2 Pages)

- Google Slides Version of Student Handout
- Answer Key

Description from IMDb -

“A PLASTIC OCEAN begins when journalist Craig Leeson, searching for the elusive blue whale, discovers plastic waste in what should be pristine ocean. In this adventure documentary, Craig teams up with free diver Tanya Streeter and an international team of scientists and researchers, and they travel to twenty locations around the world over the next four years to explore the fragile state of our oceans, uncover alarming truths about plastic pollution, and reveal working solutions that can be put into immediate effect.”

⭐ As of 3/25/24, you can watch it free on YouTube here! This may change, so please make sure you can access the documentary on YouTube and other streaming services such as Amazon here. You can also purchase the DVD here.

NGSSHS-ESS3-3

Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among the management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity. Examples of factors that affect the management of natural resources include costs of resource extraction and waste management, per-capita consumption, and the development of new technologies. Examples of factors that affect human sustainability include agricultural efficiency, levels of conservation, and urban planning. Assessment for computational simulations is limited to using provided multi-parameter programs or constructing simplified spreadsheet calculations.

NGSSMS-ESS3-4

Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems. Examples of evidence include grade-appropriate databases on human populations and the rates of consumption of food and natural resources (such as freshwater, mineral, and energy). Examples of impacts can include changes to the appearance, composition, and structure of Earth’s systems as well as the rates at which they change. The consequences of increases in human populations and consumption of natural resources are described by science, but science does not make the decisions for the actions society takes.

NGSSHS-ESS3-6

Use a computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity. Examples of Earth systems to be considered are the hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and/or biosphere. An example of the far-reaching impacts from a human activity is how an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in an increase in photosynthetic biomass on land and an increase in ocean acidification, with resulting impacts on sea organism health and marine populations. Assessment does not include running computational representations but is limited to using the published results of scientific computational models.

NGSSMS-ESS3-3

Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage (such as the withdrawal of water from streams and aquifers or the construction of dams and levees), land usage (such as urban development, agriculture, or the removal of wetlands), and pollution (such as of the air, water, or land).

NGSSHS-ESS3-4

Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems. Examples of data on the impacts of human activities could include the quantities and types of pollutants released, changes to biomass and species diversity, or areal changes in land surface use (such as for urban development, agriculture and livestock, or surface mining). Examples for limiting future impacts could range from local efforts (such as reducing, reusing, and recycling resources) to large-scale geoengineering design solutions (such as altering global temperatures by making large changes to the atmosphere or ocean).
