• Describe the route that your waterway takes to return to the ocean
• Hypothesize the conditions that would persist in the river as it traveled from your home to the sea. 
• Thinking back to the plastic mockumentary from the pre-conference activities: Imagine you placed a plastic bag in your waterway. What would happen to it? Would it make it other ocean? Consider the conditions you identified and suggest what kind of life the plastic bag would have in your waterway.
