Second Trimester in Outdoor Ed. has been focused on environmentalism and sustainability. Last week students were visited by educators from Missouri River Bird Observatory and Missouri Stream Teams United who discussed plastic pollution. Students learned about the causes and effects of plastic pollution, examined a plastic shirt under a microscope, and replicated trash moving through waterways to the ocean. Next week students will participate in a lunch audit where we will collect and count all the different types of trash thrown away during lunch in one day.
