Student Projects 📚 Making Recycled Paper

/
0 Comments

As the challenges of environmental pollution continue to grow, there is an increasing focus on conserving raw materials and energy. Paper recycling offers a practical and impactful topic for science and STEM education, making it ideal for classroom discussions, student projects, and hands-on assignments.


Consider guiding your students through the steps of the engineering design process during the paper recycling activity. This approach can transform a simple task into a rich, hands-on STEM learning experience.



  • Waste paper is first soaked in water to soften it.
  • The softened pulp is then shaped using a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Food coloring can be added at this stage to give the recycled paper a colorful appearance.
  • Once shaped, the paper is left to dry completely.
  • Finally, the recycled paper is tested by drawing on it and folding it to check its quality and durability.




Recycling paper plays a key role in conserving both energy and natural resources. While large-scale paper recycling is usually carried out in licensed facilities, the basic process can easily be demonstrated in school laboratories—or even at home—as an educational activity.
