The photo above are pots/bowls that the students made out of recycled paper. They are actually, incredibly strong! The kids loved doing this project as part of their 'Pollution' science unit of work.
The unit is very exciting and the students have been doing some amazing experiments.
So far, we have:
1) classified and measured the amount of trash found on the NJIS campus per day
2) worked out how long it would take our class to fill up with trash.
3) Devised products made from recycled goods.
4) Collected water from different samples (canals, rainwater, taps, fountains,. puddles, gutters) and measured the acidity of the water as well as filtrated it to make cleaner, clearer looking water.
Next week, we will be testing for acid rain in our rainwater and looking at how acid rain affects living things. (including growing plants in acid rain water). Very exciting!
