Assignment:
For homework, look around your home and find objects that can be re-purposed or reused. Create a new item with your found objects. Then bring the recycled item to school by Friday. You will then create a blog post on what you found, how you re-purposed it, and what you learned from this experiment. You will also need to be prepared to share with the class.
Blog Post 1
I found some water bottles in our recycling bin at my house. I used scissors to cut the water bottles into two pieces. I then used a pencil and made some holes in the lids of the water bottles and screwed them on tightly. I taped the bottles back together with the lids down inside the bottom ends. I filled the top part with the soil and put in an acorn seed from my yard. I poured water in the bottles until the lid was under water.
After a few weeks of watering and sunlight, now there is a baby tree growing in my window.
You can use an old milk jug as a watering can for your plants. I have tried to continue using jars and other types of reusable plastic around the house. Instead of buying ziploc bags and new jars and canisters to store food in, I am just reusing old ones. Sanitize them in the dishwater and they are ready for new life.
