 GENERAL OBJECTIVE

To foster in the students of the Galileo Galilei Educational Unit an awareness

environmentalist who tends to protect and care for the environment from
recycling of different non-degradable materials used at home to create new ones
creatively reuse objects and avoid the deterioration of nature.

Specific objectives

Encouraging students to develop a sense of environmental awareness

through the use of the 5 ecological Rs.

To internalize through research the treatment that can be given to the

used containers in favor of extending the life of objects and caring for the environment

Design pots, piggy banks, pencil holders, ornaments, and other pieces using the
creativity and imagination for the creation of new objects and their
novel benefits and utilities.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOPIC

Ecology

It is the branch of thebiologydedicated

to the study of the relationships existing between the various
groups of living beings in an ecosystem and even among severalecosystems.
Ecosystem

An ecosystem is asystemthat is formed by a set of organisms, themedium

environmentphysical in which they livehabitatand the relationships both biotic and abiotic that are
they establish among themselves.

Environment

It is the set of all those chemical, physical, and biological elements with which the
living beings interact. Furthermore, in the case of human beings, it also includes all those
cultural and social elements that influence their life.

The five Rs

These are the 5 ecological Rs: recycle, reduce, reuse, reject, and repair.
By using these Rs, we will help take care of our planet and achieve its well-being.

Rule of the 5 ecological Rs: Reduce, Repair, Recover, Reuse and

Recycle

We all know what 'Recycling' is, however, when it comes to caring for the
In addition to the environment, there are other concepts that are equally important and not as well known.
The 'Rule of the 5 Eco Rs' aims to spread these other concepts and to that
let's incorporate it into our daily lives.

The goal is to reduce the impact that people leave on the planet. That is to say, to try
minimize the negative effects and consequences of our passage. It is based on the principle
to meet the needs of society without compromising future generations.

This ecological guide of the 5Rs was born from the premise of developing behaviors.

of development without exploiting the capacity of our natural resources, signing a contract
between society and nature to obtain what we need without compromising the system

Recycling

Recycling is understood as the action of converting waste materials intoraw materialor in

reused and reducing the need to acquire or create new materials.

MATERIALS:

A piece of cardboard
A pair of scissors or a utility knife

Three toilet paper rolls

Magazine paper
Newspaper paper
Hot silicone
Rubber

4. Once the circle is dry, attach each toilet paper tube with hot glue, the big one and the
medium at the extremes, the smallest in between
5. Cut strips from a colorful magazine page to make small balls when
be ready, stick them around the cardboard circle.

And that's it, we can now locate our pencils, markers, and other supplies in

EXPERIMENT # 2
Ingenious pieces with recyclable materials

Pencil holders, pots, or vases are objects commonly used in daily life, and they are usually
made of various materials, such as acrylic, plastic, metal, and even wood; however,
Is it really necessary to buy them? Is it true that in the case of wood it is something that does not...

It contaminates... but since plastic, acrylic, and petroleum-derived objects tend to cost
less, they are therefore the most purchased and at the same time they are the most polluting,
As the saying goes, 'cheap becomes expensive,' but here I bring you a simple and accessible solution.
for everyone, and unlike pencil holders, pots, vases or simply containers
Pre-designed, we can customize them as we please...

MATERIALS:
-Bottles or plastic containers

Scissors
Silicone bar
Silicone gun
Paints, glitters, and decorations to taste
PROCESS OF PREPARATION:
1. We choose the containers we want, clean them and remove any label that
worry about the decoration that will be done later.
2. If necessary, we modify the packaging by cutting it, either in half or at the tip.

3. If we want to change the color of the container, we paint its outer part; otherwise, we just paint.
shapes, letters or graphics.
We will decorate with any other thing available that we have at home.
5. We let it dry.
6. We design the drawings and paint.

[Link] the decoration is finished, we can now use our container as a pencil holder or
instead to store what we want, even as pots, there are thousands of
ways to use
EXPERIMENT # 3
PIGGY BANK IN THE SHAPE OF A PENGUIN.

Plastic bottles
Adhesive tape
Scissors
Temperas
Brushes
Lana
Foamix
Silicone gun
Silicone in sticks
Ribbon

Procedure:
First we got the bottles, we washed each bottle, then
We cut and join each corresponding part.

2.- After all that, we proceeded to paint the penguin with its respective colors.
3.-Finally, we added every detail of the penguin, (like the scarf, its little hat).
In this way, we managed to obtain our piggy bank in the shape of a penguin, made with
recycled plastic bottles.
