~Inquiry~Bottle tops~

At the start of the year all the year 6's went to camp. We did lots of fun adventure activities but didn't learn lots about how rubbish is impacting on marine life and our oceans, seas and beach! So we are going to help camp MERC with it... BUT we want the lesson to be fun and memorable...

We are also going to make a mural out of bottle tops, but we found out that when bottle tops are in sun light they can break down and the color of the bottle top goes pale and that is the sign when the bottle tops will be able to be crushed into small pieces. We (Room 20) want to know a few things...
1. does color affect anything? (Because people day darker colors absorb sun light)
2. Does the salt in the sea affect or does anything?
3. Sun light or artificial light?
We are trying to test all of this now and find out how long it takes for all of this to happen and when the bottle tops will crush so we know if we can put the mural inside or outside...

This will take a while but in the end we will get there.We Also check the different temperatures and whats happening.
