Today Monica came in and talk to us about recycling and reusing. Our first activity was write or draw 3 things that can be disassembled easily, write or draw 3 things that can’t be disassembled easily, write or draw 3 things that can change shape and how. Monica gave us tin foil to mold and create things out of it. Our second activity she told us to make something we could wear, I made myself a bracelet and held it together with playdoh. Then she told us to unfold our creations and  make something for your partner , I made a ball, because it was really hard to unfold my bracelet and my tin foil ripped so the only thing I could think of was to make a ball.

Our third activity was to take bottle caps, pins, nails, and clips out of a box not using are hands so we had to make something out of 3 materials only to help us take the items out of the box and sort them into groups. We got split into 2 groups and worked with a pattern only one tool that we made together, and got assigned one item to take out of the box together. It was really hard not to use your hand to take out the items, I even hurt myself trying to take out one of the pins.

Then we learned that how we were sorting all of the items that is what recycling factories have to do every day. We also learned how plastic water bottles get recycled, they get melted the recused into a new item. From all of the actives and learning how we can reuse a lot of things I realized that you don’t always have to throw something away and you can reuse it or make it into something else. How I can help things get recycled easier I can disassemble plastic bottle before I throw them a away and reuse them also carry around a water bottle more so I don’t have to buy a plastic bottle.
