Part 2.

Part 3. The ending is disturbing to my students, they realize how we can never clean up this mess... we must stop using the plastic. They all start bring stainless water containers to class from this point. No more plastic water bottles in class!!

Caution!! Foul language alert!! I really like the science in this video.. This ship captain has been visiting this part of the ocean for 30 plus years, so, I like the visuals and his input. The scientist on board is also very good. However, I get release forms signed by parents before showing these videos because the language is offensive to me. My students say it's not a big deal. I still mute the really foul parts :) An eye opener about plastic!
