Description

This teacher sheet outline the instructions for a recycling activity where students turn scrap paper into beautiful, handmade paper bookmarks. Students are involved in every part of the process, form the tearing and processing of the old paper into pulp, to the screen, pressing and drying of the new paper. This sheet outlines the materials, preparation, and procedure necessary for you to
pull this activity off without a hitch.
