What is it?
This is a model of the Earth made from 100% recyclable materials.
What I used:
- Newspaper
- Scotch tape
- Latex paint
How the materials are recyclable:
Newspaper is recyclable because it is paper. Scotch tape can be melted down and reused. Once latex paint dries it can be melted down and reused, but oil paint can not.
What I did:
First I got some newspaper, and crumpled it into a ball. Then I dipped the ball of newspaper into water, and let it dry in the sun so the newspaper would stick together. Next I wrapped the ball up in scotch tape to make sure the newspaper would stay tightly together. Finally I used the latex paint to paint it.
What it represents:
The ball of newspaper represents recycling instead of throwing away recyclable material. The painted newspaper represents the Earth. The whole model represents recycling to help make the Earth a better place to live in.
