    According to new research, around 8 million metric tons of plastic waste enters the ocean each year. To address this, students will design and build their own 3D trash rack models using only reusable materials from home. The models must collect rubbish without letting it escape and be an original design. Students will test their models by having them collect floating rubbish in a trough of water. This project promotes sustainability by reusing materials and minimizing ocean waste.

    Design Your Own Trash Rack

    According to new research commissioned by Corona, around eight million metric


    tons of plastic waste makes its way into the ocean each year, which works out to be
    1,580kg dumped in Australia’s oceans every hour.
    Even if we are putting our rubbish in the bin, some people are not, and waste still
    finds its way into our oceans. If the rubbish is going to make it into our oceans not
    matter what, we need to think of ways that we can collect it and remove it from our
    oceans.

    Assessment of the project:

    Students will be assessed based on the


    specifications of the design.

    - Was is made from reusable items


    brought in from home.
    - Was it an original design and not copy
    of one on the internet.
    Sustainability: - Did it collect all the rubbish when it
    was being tested out.

    Presentation:

    When it comes to presenting their models.


    Students will put their design in a trough of
    water, and it needs to collect and store
    rubbish that is floating in the water.
    Everyone’s designs will be presented this
    way in the last lesson.
