National Standards for Grades 2-6
 
Students are introduced to the carbon cycle and learn how Mother Nature recycles carbon, water, and other substances on a grand scale on Earth. Then they are made aware of products which undergo recycling processes in our communities. They model paper recycling on a small scale using waste paper. Then, they reuse the paper product they create as part of their reduce, reuse, recycle effort. Allow one hour for paper making. Required, but not included: hand mixer, blender, or food processor.
