Creating Sustainable Solutions With Bioplastics Part 1
by Scott Milne
In this lesson students evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of conventional, petroleum-based plastics, bioplastics, and their different varieties. The lesson is driven by class/group research and discussion and ends with students creating an action plan for a plastic-based problem. As a group, students will learn about the costs, benefits and science behind conventional plastics and the ways in which bioplastic solutions may be used to address current problems with plastic pollution. Students are then asked to present their plan to the class and give/receive constructive feedback to and from their peers.
