This might lead to discussions about weather, economy or other areas. Students can create drawings or write paragraphs or poems describing a perfect beach. They should concentrate on explaining or showing how keeping the beach clean is important Students can write letters to the local government or manufactures of products that pollute the beaches. They should explain why the problems they found are important ones to solve. They should suggest at least one solution in their letter.
Students can create spreadsheets, charts, graphs etc. comparing and contrasting the different areas.
Students should look at data from past projects. This is especially effective for schools that have been in the project for more than one year. Students can view the photos of the beach sweep. Students should discuss other environmental problems that face our earth. If you have complete lesson plans and activity sheets you will share, I can add them to our site.
