NEW: 5 Gyres Trash Academy

Check out our virtual educational series, Trash Academy LIVE every Wednesday.

NextGen Educational Curriculum 

Whether you're a teacher, informal educator, parent or someone who's interested in learning more about plastic pollution you'll want to check out our Elementary and Middle/High School Next Generation Science Standards aligned curriculum! Much like our mission, both the elementary and middle/high school curriculum aim to help raise awareness and inspire action against plastic pollution. The curriculum is designed to be flexible so while it works as a cohesive unit, you can also draw lessons and activities to support many subjects through the lens of plastic pollution.

Thanks to the help of Aspire Public School, the curriculum has been peer reviewed and was selected by Next Generation Science Standards and featured as a “Quality Example of Science Lessons and Units."
