Plastic in the water column

What happens when plastic enters the ocean? Students find out by exploring the densities of different types of plastic. They then investigate feeding strategies and locations (surface, pelagic and benthic) of various ocean animals and predict how plastic will affect marine food webs. The activity ends with students brainstorming actions to reduce the amount of plastic that ends up as waste.
