  1. PLASTIC PERSUASION LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Use real life statistics as a persuasive device

  2. THE DIRTY DOZEN Almost a decade ago, Surfers Against Sewage conducted a Plastic Pollution Brand Survey;a brand audit that revealed the majority of all beach litter (56%) was attributable to just twelve corporations, dubbed the ‘Dirty Dozen’. Talk in pairs, remember to prepare reasons for your answers. What might Surfers Against Sewage’s motive be for doing this survey? Can you suggest who the top culprits may be? How useful is this data now?

  3. The Dirty Dozen Data Corporation In your pairs, choose three of the following questions to discuss. If the litter pick had been repeated the following week would the data be the same or different? Why? Is the data reliable? Why? What story does the data tell us? How can this data be updated? Approximately how many items of litter were collected in total? What is the range of this data set?

  4. QUESTION:If the survery was repeated today would the Dirty Dozen remain the same?WHY?

  5. YOUR MISSION: Surfers Against Sewage are inviting you to conduct your very own Plastic Pollution Brand Survey ‘Wherever you are, whether it’s a mountain or a river, in the city or by the sea, you can play a part. Let’s make the polluter pay!’ Find the new ‘Dirty Dozen!’ Arm yourself with statistics! Lead the change with some plastic persuasion!

  6. Plan the pick! As a class, plan how you will collect your data. Where/when will you conduct your survey? For what duration? How will you record your findings? Will you do it more than once to observe differences? Why are you gathering this data? What purpose will it serve?

  7. Data Collection: Frequency Table An example tally chart to show the frequency of plastic litter found for each brand, Bristol, 2019 Challenge: Record the plastic items your group collected in a frequency table

  8. Data Collection: Tally Chart A tally chart to show the TOTAL frequency of plastic litter found for each brand

  9. Pictograms Pictograms use pictures to represent data. To make sense, a pictogram must always have a key. It is important to make sure that each picture is the same size, equally spaced out and lined up one beneath the other. Key = 12 - How many items were collected in total? - How many more items were collected in Freshwater West than Tenby? - How many fewer items were there in Tenby than Freshwater East? Number of plastic items collected on Welsh beaches 2019

  10. Pictograms TO RECAP: Pictograms use pictures to represent data. To make sense, a pictogram must always have a key. It is important to make sure that each picture is the same size, equally spaced out and lined up one beneath the other. Challenge 1: Challenge 2: Write 3 questions relating to the pictogram for your partner to answer Create a pictogram to depict the data collected on your litter pick

  11. Bar Charts • In a bar chart, the height of the bar shows the frequency of the result. • As the height of bar represents frequency, the vertical axis would be labelled ‘frequency'. The labelling of the horizontal axis depends on what is being represented by the bar chart. • Take care to ensure an appropriate scale, to • number the axes uniformly, and give an • appropriate label to the axes. • Finally, remember to give the graph • a suitable title. Frequency (of plastic items collected) - What is the range of this data set? - What is the mean value? - What would be a suitable title for this graph? Location in Wales

  12. Bar Charts • In what ways is this chart different to the previous one? • What statements can you make about the data? • What reasons can you suggest for the change? • Make a prediction about data collected in March at each of the three locations with reasons. Frequency (of plastic items collected)

  13. Bar Charts Challenge 1: Create a bar chart comparing data you collected on your litter pick with the original Dirty Dozen Frequency (of plastic items collected) Challenge 2: Use the graph to arm yourself with powerful statements and statistics ready for the next part of the lesson.

  14. QUESTION:Did the Dirty Dozen remain the same?Describe similarities in the data.What are the key differences?What is the biggest surprise? Why?

  15. YOUR MISSION: Surfers Against Sewage are inviting you to conduct your very own Plastic Pollution Brand Survey ‘Wherever you are, whether it’s a mountain or a river, in the city or by the sea, you can play a part. Let’s make the polluter pay!’ Find the new ‘Dirty Dozen!’ Arm yourself with statistics! Lead the change with some plastic persuasion!

  16. CHALLENGE:Numbers are power. Use them to PERSUADE a brand to make a change.
