Pupils needing extra support

Could watch the Pupil video: Investigating ocean litter up to 00:50 as a pre-teaching opportunity to prepare for the investigation; could draw a picture or use the vocabulary on slide 2 of the Presentation: Investigating ocean litter (results table) to help predict what will happen.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should consider different time frames when predicting the changes to the litter in water over time, for example, predicting which will break up the quickest and which will only change after a week; could predict the outcome of further litter or material types based on the initial observations in the lesson.
