Essential Question:
What benefits do you derive from the oceans? How does your behavior (in Chicago) affect the oceans? Give 5 specific examples. ** Leave enough space to answer this essential question at the start of your notes… OR write it down at the beginning make a note in the left column that you will respond in the “summary section” of your CN. ** Objective: SWBAT assess impacts from Marine Pollution.

Ms. B starts & hands-off to Group 1  I review continents vs. countries, major oceans, & intro to marine pollution
Describe the term GYRE.

4. Plastic debris endangers marine life
Group 1
Plastic debris endangers marine life
Most ocean pollution is non-point source (from inland sources too), as the Clean Water Act significantly reduced discharge of point source pollution.
Identify types of “trash” or pollutants & how they got into the ocean
Trace the pathway from Chicago to an ocean
Plastic degrades very slowly (500 – 1000 yrs) in salt water and sunlight. As it breaks apart, the pollutant becomes even more harmful as organisms mistake it for food.
List two other ways trash will leave the ocean surface
Describe three other ways plastics are a detriment to the ocean and its inhabitants
Discuss measure(s) to combat this problem (think legislation)
