Featured resource

The Cycle of Plastic

Developed with Plymouth Marine Laboratory, this curriculum-linked resource supports teaching across Climate Science, Properties and Uses of Materials, and States of Matter.

Seven lessons explore the full life cycle of plastic, from manufacture to disposal. Guided by scientists through videos and practical activities, children investigate materials, recycling, sustainability and the impact of everyday choices.
