Project Plastic with Purpose
by Elsa Costello
Students will create an original design using only plastic bags in this creative lesson. They will reuse plastic bags to create a useful product they could sell.
Students will use evidence to construct an argument regarding the plastic problem taking place around the world. How are humans negatively impacting this problem? Students will work together to come up with solutions to help with this problem.
