Social Studies - The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

This week in Social Studies we have been learning about the ocean connecting to The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. 

We have learnt that some of the oxygen that we breath comes from the ocean, if we didn't have oceans we probably would't survive. The great pacific garbage patch is the biggest garbage patch in the world, it is located halfway between Hawaii and California. There is more than 1.8 trillion pieces of rubbish in the garbage patch and ways about 80,000 tones, 80,000 pieces of plastic is about the same weight as 500 jumbo jets.

Here is a slideshow that I have created with some questions that I have answered.
