Trash on Texas Beaches

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Middle schoolers take a field trip to a local Texas beach. Using the trash and debris they find, they classify them based on specific criteria. In groups, they calculate the total for each category and determine the percentage of each category out of the total amount of trash collected. They graph their results and create a statement about marine debris.
