2. OUTLINE
• Introduction : biodegradable material
module
Activity 1:comparing packing material.
Activity 2: hunting for biodgradable objects.
Activity 3: processing biodegradable materials
and comparing their mechanical properties.
Design Project :designing a new biodegradable
materials
Product Idea :design a biodegradable cup

3. WHAT IS BIODEGRADABLE
MATERIALS?
Biodegradables-materials that are broken
down by natural processes into non-toxic ,
reusable substances- are the materials
featured in this module.

4. ACTIVITY 1:
COMPARING PACKING MATERIAL.
part :1
In this part you will compare between white corn starch and
green polystyrene foam:
First : we will bring the tools (white corn starch , green
polystyrene foam and HCL) .
Second : put the HCL in containers .
Third : put the white corn starch and green polystyrene foam
in the HCL .
And then wait for the results …
As we can see the white corn starch biograded , on the other
hand the green polystyrene foam didn't .

6. ACTIVITY 2: HUNTING FOR
BIODEGRADABLE OBJECTS.

7. DESIGN PROJECT:
DESIGNING A MEDICINE CAPSULE
We design a medicine capsule Using colored
CaCl2 And we put it in the water the next day
it degradable in the water

8. FINAL PROJECT:
BIODEGRADABLE CUPS
we will create
Biodegradable Cups
are made using
plants rather than
oil so they're
biodegradable and
better for the
environment than
standard disposable
cups..

9. We believe that the best way to protect
the world’s forest is to reduce
consumption of tree-based
products. Technologically, it's difficult
to make something similar to paper
cups from alternative fibers. We are
currently researching to see if paper
cups and bowls can be made from a
mix of alternative fibers, recycled
fibers, and responsibly managed
wood/paper fibers to create a more
sustainable product. In the meantime
we carry lines that have improved on
the standard paper cup.

10. HYPOTHESIS:
We assume that with the
addition of the biodegradable
cup the world will get a green
environment and beautiful at
the same time and we will get
rid of desert lands.

11. METHODS AND MATERIALS
Milk water
Food color vinegar
oil

12. RESULTS:
It helps to make the environment
free of plastic waste Make a
green environment by the cups
that are made from plants

13. BIODEGRADABLE CUPS
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Our Recommendation to the
biodegradable cups is to do a
recycling garbage that includes
water inside to be able to recycle
the cups.

14. CONCLUSIONS
We are Shure that our project would
be of great interest to the state to
comply with the National Vision for
Qatar in the future.

15. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
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.
