This document provides instructions for a paper engineering session with the following objectives: 1. Understand paper engineering and create an origami book. 2. Create a unit of work telling the story of a sustainable product or initiative using National Geographic and various materials. 3. Learn what tools are needed like scissors, pencil, tape, glue, and what design brief is which is to create an origami book using recycled paper about recycled cans, endangered animals, or sustainability using the provided instructions.

1. Paper Engineering

2. Session Objectives: Understand paper engineering. Create an origami book. Create a unit of work. Tell the story of a sustainable product/initiative. Use National Geographic. Use a variety of materials to create your book.

3. What is it? Engineering is the intersection of science, maths and art. Paper engineering is no exception, whether you are folding complex origami figures, making paper planes or designing your own pop-up books.

4. History of paper engineering First known pop-up element in a book appeared in an astrological manuscript in 1306. During the ensuing centuries, movable mechanics were used in more and more books - but only for adults. In the 1700s a British bookseller came up with the idea of illustrating well-known children's stories with movable flaps of paper.

5. Equipment needed Essential Tools Sharp scissors Pencil Tape Glue Metal ruler Protractor Craft Knife Self-healing cutting mat

6. Design Brief Using recycled paper, create an origami book. Tell the story of a recycled can (ref to the poster), information about endangered animals or an area of your choice that deals with sustainability. Complete the unit of work sheets when you have finished. What FPTs would be needed to be taught to primary school children?

7. Follow the instructions! Follow the instructions on the card. Fold the paper vertically in half Cut through the middle panels on the folded edge. Now open up the whole sheet of paper Fold the paper horizontally in half. Hold the left and right sides of the paper. Push the left and right sides to the middle to make the star shape. Now press the star shape down so that it is flat Finally, fold the pages each side of the fold on top of each other to make the origami book.
