Summer : Plastic Oceans Sculpture : Lesson 1
Imagining a hybrid Sea-Creature
Warm-up: 10 mins
- Invite students to discuss sea creatures found all across the world’s oceans, watch some short clips from nature documentaries to support the discussion.   
 
Introduction: 10 mins
- Examine with students the role plastic has in the pollution of the world’s oceans, and the development of ‘plastic islands’- use a short video clip/ diagrams to support the discussion.
- Ask children to collect used plastic bottles and plastic bags that they will need to create hybrid sea-creatures.

Development: 15 mins
- Discuss the term “hybrid” with the class- the creature will be made using a combination of real and imagined sea-creature features.
- Ask students to research sea-creatures to gather ideas for their design.
- Ask children to draw a series of design ideas for the sea-creature on large sheets of paper, using pencils and/or markers.

Conclusion: 10 mins
- Invite the class to share their design ideas and explain the particular features of their plans.
- Encourage children to give constructive feedback to each other on their design ideas.
