This document summarizes a student project on biodegradable materials. It outlines 4 activities that students conducted: 1) comparing biodegradable and non-biodegradable packing materials, 2) identifying biodegradable objects, 3) processing and comparing mechanical properties of biodegradable materials, and 4) measuring degradation rates of materials. It also describes a design project to create a medicine delivery device and development of a "Green Plastic" made from chemically treated palm fronds that is biodegradable. Test results showed the Green Plastic has reinforced mechanical properties and is more environmentally friendly than traditional plastics. The conclusion is that the student team gained research experience and that the Green Plastic will
