Understanding Plastic Pollution Through Hands-On Environmental EducationThe Mississippi River drains two-thirds of the continental United States, bringing its water—and pollution—through the city of New Orleans en route to the Gulf of Mexico. The citizens of New Orleans are actively seeking ways to understand and reduce the amount of plastic traveling downstream. This project leverages student and educator activities to engage the general public on the issue of marine microplastic pollution. This curriculum aims to educate students on microplastics through a series of outdoor experiential learning activities and hands-on projects. While this has been written with New Orleans in mind, this series of lessons can be adapted to riverine environments everywhere. Lesson One: Plastic PollutionStudents will be able to describe types and sources of plastic pollution in the environment by creating a chart showing the movement of plastic in their local environment. Participants will
Lesson Two: A River of PlasticStudents will be able to illustrate the pollution of the Mississippi River following their participation in an outdoor learning activity and river cleanup. Participants will
Lesson Three: Analyzing DataStudents will be able to explain the location and estimate the quantity of plastic pollution in local riverine environments through the creation of graphs and maps. Participants will
Lesson Four: Reducing PlasticsStudents will be able to assess the potential effect of bioplastics and plastic reduction in their community and will model the potential impact on riverine environments. Participants will
Lesson Five: Finding a New WayStudents will be able to synthesize what they’ve learned and select solutions to mitigate plastic pollution to present to their local community. Participants will
Lesson Six: Building a CampaignStudents will be able to present and defend their proposed solutions through the creation of artwork and educational materials to share with community members. Participants will
