The Urban Garden Class

In this workshop, Makers will learn about recycling and the science behind paper. They will compile paper scraps and convert them into a malleable pulp which they will then form into a bookmark. Once they have mastered the pulp process, they will also incorporate seeds into the pulp and mold their pulp into shapes that will become seed pods that can be planted or gifted.  These workshops will give Makers hands-on experience in understanding the various forms that paper can take. They will participate in a practical recycling project that demonstrates how used material can be reused in different ways. The kit provides enough supplies to create endless amounts of paper seed pods - just supply the paper! The curriculum covers the importance of recycling and the impact it can have on our world. It also reviews some basic planting techniques, prompts students to think about where we see recycling in other areas, and introduces some cool facts related to recycling. There are extension activities for additional learning. Main Vocab Words: Recycling, Pulp  Each kit is designed for one student over 2, one-hour classes.  Subject: BiologyAges: 4-10 KITS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY. Be sure to also add one kit for each child to your cart.
