Cycles of Matter Booklet
For this project, you will be creating a Booklet about the cycles of matter that
occur on our planet. There is only so much matter available, so matter must be recycled
over and over again.
Requirements
-
All diagrams must be hand drawn.
You will get 3 pieces of copy of paper. Stack them and fold them “hamburger”
style. Starting inside the front cover number the pages 1-10. On the back cover
draw a picture of yourself and 3 fun facts about yourself!
