Recycling Paper

In Room 11 we have been learning how to recycle paper. After making a sheet with plain newsprint, we are exploring ways we could alter the properties of our recycled paper to use it for different purposes.

Feel free to post some pictures of your first attempt at recycling paper!

Here are some questions for you to consider and answer on this blog post.

1. What were the properties of your recycled paper? Think about its size, shape, colour, texture, strength etc.

2. What do you want to be able to do with your paper? How will you change the properties of your paper in order to do this?

  10. 1:Our Recycled paper felt smooth,it was large but when we broke it up, it was small like stamps.It was gray with dull colours.


    2.I would like to make origami with it so i would need to make a think piece of paper so i would need less paper pulp and i need it to be smooth so i'll smooth it out with something with a smooth surface. To make it square(r), We'll need it to be cut-able so We need to experiment.
