Plastic Soup @ NMA

Yesturday we went to the national marine aquarium. We visited the Science Lab and and did two experimants. We had to pick a card to see which sea animals stomach we had to look inside. We had to make a list of thing we thought would be in the stomach of the giant trevally. Here are some exsamples; blood, bones, gutts, flesh and fat and here are the foods we thought of; shrimp, plankton, plaice, crabs and eel. These are the actual things that we found in it; 2 squid, lots of small peices of plastic, 3 small fish, 4 lollisticks, 1 penlid, 2 pieces of rope, 3 bottletops and 5 pieces of wood. We had a look at some sad pictures of loads of plastic in the sea and loads of dead fish and birds. We also learnt some symbols on plastic packaging and on our sheet we had to link the symbols with the text. These are the symbols that we we had to figure out what they looked liked; The Green Dot, Plastics, Mobius Loop and Mobius Loop with percentage.

Yesterday at the National Marine Aquariums science lab we found what is in animals stomachs. Our group we worked in were looking at a common seal. We found out that there was allot of plastic in the seals stomach. This is caused by humans throwing rubbish into the ocean and flushing rubbish down the toilet and not recycling but instead putting it in the bin.

Yesterday at the National Marine Aquariums science lab, we had a picture of an animal and ours was a Albatross and we had to guess what was in his belly. We had to make a list of what we thought was inside, we thought there would be fish, meat, bread, flesh, water, blood and doughnuts. Next we had a bucket and that had all of the things that the bird actually had in his belly. We found out that an Albatross actually ate one squid two prawns, two fish, four milk bottle lids, thirty one pieces of plastic, thirty two pieces of rubbish thirteen lollipop sticks and two ropes. Next we had to pick them up with plastic gloves on and put them into the other tray. All we want to do is stop people throwing rubbish on the beach and make more people recycle their plastic.   People should get rid of their rubbish by recycling it.

Yesterday at the National Marine Aquarium we took a trip to the sciance lab. We had a look what was inside of a Ocean sunfish and we were very suprised at what was inside the fish.  The main message was to not litter and recycle are plastics otherwise they get washed into the Ocen and the sea creaturs will think its food and eat it if the creatures eat to much plastic and rubish the rubish might get stuck in there throat and might stop them from breathing and they could die. Inside of the fish we saw a dead squid,3 dead shrimp,lots of rope and plastic and five milk bottle caps. We had a really fun time and it made us want to recycle more of our rubish. Thankyou for our lovely trip and we hope to go again.

Yesterday at the National Marine Aquariums sience lab we investigated what was in a common dolphins stomach and this is our investigation. We found out the contents of the stomach contained two squids, one big fish, three little fish , one large bottle, one straw and two lollipop sticks. Our group thought it would have fish, cold blood and sea bass in the stomach. People should get rid of there rubbish by recycling it not throwing it in the sea and flushing it down the toilet.

Investagation 2: How can we reduce plastic pollution ?
Make sure that rubish goes in the bin and not down the toilet. Pick up rubish from the beach. Don't throw rubish in the sea. Don't feed plastic to the animals. Never ever let plastic go to waste.

Yesterday at the National Marine Aquarium in the science lab we learnt what was in a Common dolphin stomach inside the dolphins stomach.  There were two squids, seven pieces of plastic, one big fish, three small fish, one bottle lid, one bottle, two lolly pop sticks and one straw. We thought that there would be in the Common Dolphin cold blood, fish food and fish. We learnt that we have to start to help the environment and to start recycling and making sculptures maybe out the plastic.  Make sure you don't flush away, or put in the bin any plastic!!!
