Resumen de New Paper from Newspaper

• We use paper every day. It can be as simple as blowing our nose on a tissue and throwing it away. It can be as complex as an artist painting a beautiful watercolor landscape on special paper. Sometimes even paper itself becomes art: in Japanese origami, paper is folded into artistic shapes.

  Most paper is formed from wood pulp. The main component of wood pulp is cellulose, a polymer made of many glucose molecules linked together. The cellulose molecules and their bonding to each other give paper its properties. In this Activity, you will use newspaper to create new paper and compare it to other kinds of paper. Then, using your imagination, you can experiment with making a paper work of art.
