In search of plastic
In the wet lab, pupils examine samples of fresh seawater for plankton and any plastic. Mackerel or cod are examined for possible microplastic content. Based on the examination, the pupils collect data that can be compared with data from other classes. In the exhibitions, the pupils collect information about the consequences of plastic's journey through the North Sea food web. Finally, the pupils present their results to each other.
