The document provides instructions for making recycled paper out of old newspapers. Students will tear newspaper into small pieces, soak them in water and cornstarch, and blend the mixture. The blended paper pulp is then poured into a pan to dry in the sun. Over the next few days, students will observe and journal about the drying process, how the recycled paper looks, feels and smells as it dries. The lesson teaches students about the benefits of recycling in terms saving money, energy and trees.
