Can Grey find the hidden plastics?

In this video Amanda explains how she collected a sand sample from Stonewall Beach that contained 5 plastics.  I have to try and find all five plastics she saw in the sample she took.


Check out this video to see if I was able to find them using the hose technique.  




If you would like to see my results click here and then look at sample name SW4.

I also mentioned using a buoyancy technique to find plastics using water and salt.  To learn about this technique click here. You click here to find out how drying the sand affected our ability to sift the remaining sand < 1 mm.
