Activity 1: Comparing packing materials
Activity 2:Hunting for biodegradable objects
Activity 3: : Processing biodegradable materials
Activity 4: Measuring the degradation rates of biodegradable
materials
Design Project :Designing a medicine release capsule
Product Idea: Healthy shoes

3. INTRODUCTION
Biodegradable materials that are
broken down by natural processes
into reusable use non-toxic materials

4. Activity 1
comparing packing materials
A BWe compared
between white
foam and green
foam.
The white one
degraded
In water because it
is made of corn
starch and the
green one didn’t
degrade because it
is made of
polystyrene.
we tried to make a
good packaging for
eggs by using the
biodegradable and
non-biodegradable
Both of the plastic
bags that had the
eggs gave the
same protection.

5. Activity 2
hunting for biodegradable objects

6. Activity 3
processing biodegradable materials and comparing
their mechanical properties

8. Design project
designing a medicine capsule
We added 2 ml of
Sodium Alginate
and 50 ml of
Calcium Chloride
to the beads
We isolated
beads
from the liquid
We colored the
beads
with a food
color
We putted the
beads in Sodium
Citrate

9. It’s a shoe with tow layers first one is a Bio
Plastic which maids of corn starch and potassium
and aluminum sulfate

10. *Healthy shoes
*We expected that making a healthy
shoes will help the people who has
many problems in the foot we tried
to read about the project we found
that sand is the best way to make a
natural massage for the foot .

11. Materials: potassium and aluminum sulfate , Bio plastic :
corn starch ,Vinegar , Water ,Dried lemon peels ,Baking Soda
, Glycerol
Method :
1- we added 50ml of glycerol
2- 60ml of corn starch
3- 30ml of vinegar
4- 10ml dried lemon peels
5- 30ml of potassium and aluminum sulfate
6- At the end we added a food color

12. Recommend that companies to
adopt our project to have a new
kind of shoes
