>> SUPER FAB LAB!
>> RIGHT!
GRAB YOUR JOURNALS.
LET'S GO!
>> WHOO-HOO!
>> [GIGGLING] >> SUPER FAB LAB!
INVESTIGATE!
EXPLORE!
DISCOVER!
AH!
>> ONE WAY TO CREATE LESS TRASH IS TO FIND ANOTHER USE FOR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF THROWING IT AWAY.
>> OH.
>> ANYBODY SEE SOMETHING I REUSED HERE IN THE SUPER FAB LAB?
>> UM... >> UH... >> WELL, HERE'S A HINT.
I FOUND ANOTHER USE FOR SOUP CANS!
>> OH.
WELL... >> OH!
OH!
OH!
OH!
I FOUND IT!
THE CRAYON HOLDERS!
>> RIGHT!
AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO EXPLORE ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE LESS TRASH.
OK, SCIENTISTS, I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHAT IS ALL THIS STUFF?
>> TRASH!
>> YES, THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT SOME PEOPLE THROW AWAY.
NOW LET'S MAKE SOME OBSERVATIONS.
WHAT MATERIALS ARE THESE THINGS MADE FROM?
>> I SEE A GLASS JAR.
>> OH!
THERE'S A NEWSPAPER, SO THAT'S PAPER.
>> IS THAT BOTTLE PLASTIC?
>> IT SURE IS.
>> OOH!
HEY!
HEY, I KNOW WHAT THAT ONE IS!
IT'S A CEREAL BOX!
HA!
I EAT LOTS OF CEREAL.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BOX IS MADE OF.
>> CEREAL BOXES ARE MADE OF CARDBOARD.
>> OH!
>> NOW, I'M SURE YOU HAVE SEEN PEOPLE THROW THESE THINGS AWAY, BUT EVERYTHING HERE CAN BE TURNED INTO NEW THINGS, MADE OUT OF THE EXACT SAME MATERIAL.
>> SO THAT GLASS JAR CAN BE TURNED INTO MORE GLASS JARS?
>> EXACTLY.
>> AND YOU CAN MAKE MORE PAPER OUT OF THAT NEWSPAPER?
>> YOU SURE CAN.
IT'S CALLED RECYCLING.
>> SO RECYCLING IS MAKING SOMETHING NEW OUT OF SOMETHING OLD!
>> YEAH, SO WE MAKE LESS TRASH!
>> YOU GOT IT!
>> SUSIE, GUESS WHAT?
I THINK WE HAVE A SPECIAL TRASH CAN IN OUR HOME FOR RECYCLING!
>> OH!
OH, ME, TOO!
BUT I NEVER KNEW WHY WE WERE PUTTING ALL THAT STUFF IN THERE.
>> OH, I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU RECYCLE AT HOME.
WELL, TODAY, YOU CAN ALL HELP OUR SCHOOL RECYCLE.
WE HAVE TO PUT ALL THE THINGS MADE OUT OF GLASS INTO THAT FIRST BLUE CONTAINER, ALL THE PLASTIC ITEMS HAVE TO GO INTO THE SECOND CONTAINER, AND EVERYTHING MADE OUT OF PAPER GOES INTO THE THIRD CONTAINER.
>> OH!
>> SO--SO EVERYTHING IN THIS BIG PILE CAN BE RECYCLED?
>> IT SURE CAN!
BUT IF YOU FIND SOMETHING YOU CAN REUSE, YOU CAN KEEP IT SO YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO RECYCLE IT!
OK, SCIENTISTS, LET'S START RECYCLING!
>> YEAH!
>> HEY, YOU'RE A SCIENTIST.
YOU CAN TRY THIS, TOO.
>> LET'S START RECYCLING.
WE NEED TO SORT EVERYTHING INTO THE DIFFERENT BLUE CONTAINERS.
AND IF YOU FIND SOMETHING YOU CAN REUSE, GO AHEAD AND KEEP IT!
PLASTIC ITEMS GO IN HERE.
THINGS MADE OUT OF PAPER GO IN THIS CONTAINER.
CARDBOARD IS THICK PAPER, SO WHERE DOES IT GO?
RIGHT.
AND ALL THE ITEMS MADE OUT OF GLASS GO INTO THIS CONTAINER.
OK, KEEP SORTING!
CARDBOARD, GLASS, PLASTIC, NEWSPAPER, PLASTIC...WAIT.
YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S PAPER.
THIS IS INTERESTING.
THE TOP PART OF THE PACKAGE IS PLASTIC, AND THE BOTTOM IS PAPER.
YOU CAN PULL IT APART... AND PUT THE PLASTIC PART IN THIS CONTAINER AND THE CARDBOARD PART IN THIS CONTAINER.
IS THIS ONE PLASTIC?
HMM.
DOES THE TEXTURE FEEL LIKE PLASTIC?
YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S CARDBOARD.
AND THIS ONE BELONGS IN THE PLASTIC CONTAINER.
YOU CAN DRAW PICTURES IN YOUR JOURNALS OF THE ITEMS YOU CHOSE TO KEEP AND REUSE.
YOU KEPT SOME JARS SO YOU CAN MAKE A DRUM SET.
GOOD IDEA!
WHAT ELSE DID YOU DECIDE TO KEEP?
OH, YOU CAN PUT THESE PLASTIC PIECES TOGETHER TO MAKE A GREAT SPACESHIP.
AND WHAT DID YOU REUSE?
IT'S A TRUCK MADE OUT OF PAPER AND PLASTIC--VERY CREATIVE.
