Activities

Explore and replace: Plastic

Walk around your house and make a list of all the plastic you can find.

  • Which of these plastics are 'single use' where you use it once and throw it away.
  • Which plastic items could you do without?
  • Which plastic items could you replace with items made out of other material such as cloth, stainless steel, glass, or wood?

Single use plastic

 

Plastic items that are only used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. E.g. Plastic bags, water bottles, food packaging, plastic knives and forks, and straws.

Freediving

 

A form of underwater diving that requires a diver to hold their breath underwater without the help of any gear (e.g. scuba equipment) to help them breathe.

Food chain

 

A food chain shows how each living thing gets food and how nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Food chains start with plant life and end with animal life.

Jellyfish

 

A free-floating ocean creature with a jelly-like body. Is usually see-through, round or bell-shaped, and has stinging tentacles (arms) around the edge of its body.
