Students explore how to make strong rope from the only available resource on a desert island, plastic bags. They cut plastic bags into strips and twist the strips together to form rope. Students then test the strength of their homemade plastic bag ropes to see whose rope is strongest. Making rope from plastic bags found on the beach allows survivors to build rafts or shelters and also protects the environment.
