Science - Recycling Paper

A part of the Snowy Owls' work on raw and synthetic materials, they learnt that paper is a synthetic material made from a raw material. The children investigated how paper is made and replicated the process by recycling paper. Firstly, they shredded the paper into small pieces and mixed the paper with water to make a pulp. Next they extracted the water and flattened the paper before leaving it to dry. They learnt about the positive impact which recycling can have on the environment.
