Experiment

Material:
-Old newspaper
-Blender
-Coat hanger
-Nylon stocking
-Bowl
-Iron
-Cutting board
-Paper towel


Recycling, reducing and reusing are ways to prevent climate change. Therefore my group and I chose to recycle newspaper and turn it into a new piece of paper. By reusing newspaper we can reduce deforestation. Therefore we don’t have to cut down trees as much as we did. If we reduce deforestation, our environment will have more trees which produce oxygen and prevent our environment from flood and landslide.

Procedure:
1: Gather up old sheets of newspaper
2: Take a piece of newspaper and tear it apart (don’t cut them)
3: Place the pieces of paper in a blender
4: Pour hot water onto the blender
5: Let the mixture flow for about 10 minutes
6: Then turn on the blender at full speed
7: Bend the coat hanger until its shape is like a loop
8: Cover the looped up coat hanger with an old nylon stocking. This will be our screen
9: Place the ‘screen’ over the bowl and pour the liquid to the ‘screen’
10: Now place the 'screen' between two sheets of paper towels.
11: Take this paper towel and place it on the cutting board.
12: Iron out the paper towels.

13: Remove the paper towels and peel the paper off of the screen.
And Now You Have A New And Nice Piece Of Paper!
