In my Technology class we have been taking time in class to work on a project of our choice. People did things like rocket ships, origami and graffiti. I personally did water pollution, a subject I am very interested in, due to the fact that I spend a lot of time in water swimming and surfing. I learned a lot about The Giant Pacific Garbage Patch. I thought that it was an island of trash, it was really a space were Micro Plastics are brought together with tides. These Micro Plastics are very small and extremely easy for animals to eat. Not only does our pollution affect animals in and around water, the pollution affects us as well. A fish might eat a piece of plastic by accident and another piece by accident and before you know it, this same fish is on our plats soon to be eaten by us.
What I learned is important because I will teach people what I learned and teach them the importance of not polluting our oceans. Here is the video I made.
My next genius hour will be making a viral video. This will impact people because many people see these videos and therefore you can spread a message.
