Summer : Plastic Oceans Sculpture : Lesson 3
Creating a hybrid Sea-Creature collaboratively
Warm-up: 5 minutes
- Ask each group to share their design plans, with a new designated spokesperson.   
 
Introduction: 10 minutes
- Explain this stage of the challenge: to create the main body of the sea-creature using plastic bottles. The bottles can be cut into sections to form the desired structure.
- Demonstrate a method to attach the plastic: piercing holes in the plastic and tying the plastic pieces together with fishing line. Stress the importance of safe handling of the sewing needles.

Development: 20 mins
- Ask students to work in their groups on the main body or frame of the creature.
- Support each group with their construction, with the help of other adults.
- Pierce a hole in each main body so each creature can hang from a display line until the next lesson.

Conclusion: 10 mins
- Invite students to share with the group their experience and helpful tips of sculpting with plastic.
