Ages 11 – 16

The issue of ocean plastic is not only a science subject area. These resources are designed to replace, rather than embellish existing mainstream lessons. Designed by experienced teachers who are also experienced marine biologists, marine conservationists, waste management experts, they use the context of plastic in our ocean and are creative, engaging, fully resourced and differentiated.

Our 11-16 programme is designed to be used as a whole-school approach. It provides structured opportunities for pupils to engage with these issues once every term, across several subjects, throughout their secondary school career.

E-Learning for Teachers and Youth Leaders

To empower teachers and youth leaders with the knowledge and confidence to deliver the resources, the e-learning training programme will support the development of self-reflection on facilitators’ own knowledge, behaviours, attitudes and values towards plastics and the ocean. Engaging film clips, activities, quizzes, overviews of learning objectives and outcomes and support for identifying routes for delivery and impact measurement, this training course is an easy to complete, useful resource.

We are building more materials and want to respond to teachers’ needs. We would welcome any feedback or suggestions to ensure our resources are beneficial to teachers at all ages. We would particularly be interested to hear about requirements for secondary science and geography to assist with exam board requirements.
