Learners start by using the Arcadia Earth app’s Keep the Great Lakes GREAT section to glean base knowledge of the North American Great Lakes and factors impacting the region. Students then deepen their knowledge to discover human impact on the Great Lakes in regards to runoff and plastic pollution. This lesson incorporates the activity, Littered Lakes, which exposes plastic accumulation and flow throughout the region. The lesson concludes with discussing and brainstorming solutions to mitigate harmful runoff and plastic pollution. Although this lesson specifies the Great Lakes of North America, principles and concepts can be applied to any watershed.
Estimated time required: 1 class period.
Technology required for this lesson: Tablet or Smartphone.
