Lesson Plans

  • Elasticity Test
    Working in groups, students will carry out a controlled experiment which will compare the elasticity of six-pack carriers that have been exposed to ultraviolet light to that of carriers which have not been exposed.

  • Buoyancy
    Students will observe characteristics of positive and negative buoyancy as they pertain to various types of plastics, and understand why it is important that photodegradable six-pack carriers have positive buoyancy.

  • Disposal
    Students will gain a basic understanding of three disposal options available for disposing of post-consumer six-pack carriers by constructing Venn diagrams that illustrate the similarities and differences among recycling, landfilling, and littering.
