If students do not live near the ocean, teachers can explain how plastic waste impacts local systems. They can also learn that, depending on the local waterways, plastic waste can make its way to the ocean.
As students watch, they can draw images to help them understand the plastic-eating robot.
Referencing the "Do Good Dare," teachers can take students outside to pick up litter on the school grounds.
