There is no doubt that the plastic is one of the most non-biodegradable materials that grabbed the world’s attention. Replacing non-biodegradable plastics with biodegradable ones will have a great impact on the environment. The idea of this group is to use biodegradable materials in manufacturing children toys and party supplies, as the survey – which was given to the mothers – showed that the most annoying garbage in their houses are the children’s toys, plates, and cups waste.
Through their product, they aim to limit the amount of plastic that is being used in children toys and party supplies.

Bikrant Roy conducted a chemistry investigatory project to determine which shampoo has the best pH for hair. He measured the pH of several popular shampoo brands and found that L'Oreal, Dove, and Head & Shoulders, which had a pH of 4, were the most acidic and therefore best for hair. A lower pH is better for hair because it opens the hair cuticle, while a higher pH can damage hair cuticles over time. The project followed a standard scientific method and helped identify shampoos with a pH closer to hair's natural acidic level.

A review of the growth of the Israel Genealogy Research Association Database Collection for the last 12 months. Our collection is now passed the 3 million mark and still growing. See which archives have contributed the most. See the different types of records we have, and which years have had records added. You can also see what we have for the future.
2. • Introduction.
• Activity 1: comparing packing materials.
• Activity 2: hunting for biodegradable objects.
• Activity 3: Processing biodegradable materials and
comparing their mechanical properties.
• Activity 4: measuring the Degradation rate of
biodegradable materials.
• Design Project: Designing a new biodegradable
product.
• Product Idea: Fish feeding bio-capsules.
3. What is biodegradable?
A Biodegradable: product has the ability to break down safely.
By biological means, into the raw materials of nature and
disappear into the environment. These products can be solids
biodegrading into soil, or liquids biodegrading into water
4. Objective: Comparing the effectiveness of two
type of packing materials.
Procedure:
First step: Filling two beakers
with the same amount of water and
add same amount of 2 materials
one of them is biodegradable
and the other one is non-biodegradable
material.
Second step: Proving that both
non biodegradable and
biodegradable materials have
the same physical effect as both
protecting the fragile items.
5. Conclusion: The biodegradable foams degrade
in water and the non-biodegradable foams
didn’t degrade in the water.
Green foam didn't degrade in water White foam degrade in water
6. We have been searching about
biodegradable materials and
non-biodegradable materials.
It shows that the biodegradable
materials degrade easily in natural and
the non-biodegradable materials don’t
degrade in natural, and it causes many
effects to the environment .
7. in this activity we found out that there are many materials biodegradable like:
Wood Some types of Paper Food
And non biodegradable materials:
Glass bottles aluminum cans plastic containers
The development of biodegradable materials has also become important in the field of
medicine , for example, orthopedic pins and screw.
9. Objective: Making gelatin films.
Procedure: By putting different amount of
gelatin and HCL we made 2 type of gelatin
films (5% and 10 %) and a Gel with 20%
concentration.
10. Objective: Testing two different concentration
of gelatin films, starch peanut and gelatin
capsules in three different solutions.
Procedure: We use NaOH and HCL and hot
water to degrade 3 films and gelatin capsules
and some foam to measure the degradation
of them.
11. Conclusion:

12. The alginate beads represent
the capsules.
The food coloring represent
the medicine in the capsules.
We add them to sodium citrate
solution which represent the
human body.
The medicine (food dye)
releases by diffusion, and after
that the beads degrade.
13. Final Project/ product:
-Make fish food inside capsules that degrade in water
after few days.
-Those capsules will contain fish food and when it
degrades the fish will take the food and it will be in
the period of the absence of the owner of the
aquarium.
14. Why we chose this product?
We chose this project because the project must be
biodegradable and our project will help a lot of people who
have fish.
The project is important to us and to Qatar because it will help
the people who travel a lot and have fish tanks to feed there
fish without sending someone every few days to feed them.
15. We expect that our project will help everyone who
owns a fish aquarium or marine scientists in long
term fish feeding from biodegradable materials
that are eco-friendly and could be available at
commercial scale.
16. The materials we will use in our project are:
1- water
2- corn starch
3- vinegar
4- glycerin
5- Fish food
6- Food Dye
17. we put our product under experience
and that what happened:
Zero hour: after 5 hours:
18. After 12 hours: after one day:
And the food start to get out
20. 1-Help people how travel a lot to feed their fish
secure manner,
And without any obstacles.
2- Protect the fish from death during the period of
travelling.
21. Further investigations could be done to
improve the product to be released in the
market.
The idea can be improved by the experts and
presented for companies to solve that
problem completely.
22. Participating in Al-Bairaq project was really
useful. We learned a lot of things about
biodegradable materials and how some
materials degrade. We also did some
experiments that were definitely interesting.
23. Many thanks to my teachers, school and AL-Bairaq
team from Center for Advanced Materials (CAM),
Qatar University for supporting us during our journey
with a AL-Bairaq.
Also, I would like to thank the sponsors UNESCO,
Qatar National Commission, Ras Gas, Maersk and
Shell.
