Great Garbage Patch Expedition

5th Grade

Great Garbage Patch

Below are our overall guiding questions for our expedition. Guiding questions focus our topic and are questions to help ponder discussion. They are not meant to have one correct answer. As we work through our expedition, we revisit these guiding questions and our ideas change and develop over time. Please discuss with your child their current thoughts on our guiding questions and their ideas about possible answers to them.

Overall Guiding Questions:

• How do my everyday actions impact oceans and its biodiversity? How does this impact affect me?
• How does what I choose to buy and consume at home impact our oceans?
• How does our impact on oceans affect what we eat?
• How can we reverse the human impact on the oceans?
