13. Reuse Project

14. One day in biology class
I am going to do
the best
presentation
picture for this
lesson
Recycled paper

15. Oh
well…
Oh, no!
I smudged
the picture

16. But it’s only
one piece of
paper,
nothing bad
will happen.
Don’t throw
it away you
can reuse
it.

17. Well, what
can we do
about it?
If everybody
thought the
same, it
would be
disastrous.
We
could
recycle
the
paper.

18. It will be a
good idea to
collect all the
used paper we
can find.
Teacher,
could we
make
recycled
paper?

19. On our way to the lab
Of course! I’ll
show you how to
make it! Let’s go to
the laboratory.

20. In the lab
These are the materials we used:
A Large recipient
A small sieve and
some large spoonsSieves
A BlenderUsed paper
Cloths

21. Procedure
 First we filled the recipient half-full with water
 Then we tore the paper and put it in the recipient
with water
 After that we blended all the paper
 Next we made sure there were no big pieces of
paper
Later we put the paper-bits
on the square sieve and
squeezed the water out with a
spoon
Finally we put the paper on
the cloth, left it to dry and
waited…

22. And now
that we have
finished,
what can we
do with our
recycled
paper?
We could
make a
photo
album out
of it…
Excellent!

23. “E.J.E.” Project

new things

24. “E.J.E.” Project
