Oak's Year 9 lesson on plastic pollution sits in the 'Anthropocene: what is the impact of humans on the world?' unit and includes downloadable slides (PPTX), a worksheet, starter and exit quizzes and a video with transcript. It is mapped to the English National Curriculum for KS3 Geography and published under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (with stated exceptions such as third-party images), so teachers can adapt it. Oak also has Key Stage 2 (KS2) Science 'materials' lessons worth mining.

Who made and funded this: Oak National Academy, an arm's-length public body funded by the UK Department for Education. How to use it: the ready-made Geography partner to our ages 12–14 Science lesson.
