Lesson Objective: To reflect on the micro plastics field experience and process
DO NOW: WHOLE GROUP GO AROUND -What is one piece of advice you'd give the kids doing the micro plastics project next year? DO NEXT: Reflection on zoom -I will be interviewing you with reflection questions from Kathy and using zoom to record and send to her as a recap for the micro plastics project and the grant -If we have time...we will play stoichiometry on Kahoot !! Tuesday May 25th
EXHIBITIONS OF LEARNING Wednesday May 26th DO NOW: WHOLE GROUP GO AROUND -What went went well on monday? -What suggestions do you have for next time? DO NEXT: Reflection on the microplastics project -potential interview with Kathy Thursday May 27th EXHIBITIONS OF LEARNING FIELD EXPERIENCE-
VISIT SHEBOYGAN 8:15am-11:15am Field Experience:Learning ObjectiveStudents will be able to understand how to identify and quantify microplastics in our waterways. Do NowDirections: Each student will receive a container with a mixture of sand, rocks, organic material, and plastic pieces. They have 2 minutes to sift through and remove as many microplastics as they can in the time allotted. KEEP-CHANGE What is something that you would keep in this process? What challenges did you encounter and how would you change them? ActivityBackground InformationProblemDirections: Watch the video about how we are going to collect microplastics out of our river. (video) Experiment MATERIALS System
Demonstration
Station 1 BUOYANCY 2 groups of 4 will work to filter microplastics out of sand. Step 1: Fill wheelbarrow with water from the River (use pump) Step 2: Place 5 gallon bucket of sand into the system tub. Step 3: Pump the water from the wheelbarrow into the aquarium filter (flowing into sand) to float the plastics Step 3.1: Agitate the sand to stir up the plastics Step 3.2: May need to use hand to sweep plastics over the edge of the bin Step 4: When the sand is not bringing anymore plastics, pour water into wheelbarrow from the sand bin. Step 5: Take the wheelbarrow and dump the water and contents into filter bucket. Step 5.1: When bucket fills, dump into river and relace the filter net to continue staring the water. Step 6: The contents inside the net will be placed into storage bins for station 2 Station 2 IDENTIFICATION Directions: Using the Identification Key and the Data Collection document student will work to sort through the storage bins to Step 1: Station 3MICROSCOPES Step 1: Data (Station 2+3)STUDENTS WILL GET 10 MINUTES TO SORT OUT ORGANIC MATERIAL AND WEIGH THE ITEMS THIS WILL HAPPEN IN ROTATION WITH THE FINAL EXPERIMENTS AND LOOKING UNDER MICROSCOPES. Directions: Means of measuring: Mass
Put data into a visual form (ex. Bar graph) Visually share all the data collected with the students. Using this document, student will create a bar graph to represent the data. Conclusion + CommunicateDirections: Students will revisit their hypothesis and identify answers to the below questions. After 5 minutes they will go around each sharing an answer to one of the question Group discussion about new thoughts based on the data
LEARNING GOAL: Students will create and set up the filtration system for collecting microplastics
