Newspaper Cuttings from Garbage to Gold
ISEF · 2017 Environmental Engineering
Overview
Throughout our research project, we will be analyzing the properties of a relatively new yet potentially pivotal scientific breakthrough, which is Newspaper Cuttings, occasionally recognized as “Newspaper Soil” or “Nano Sand”. We will be examining its effectiveness in battling certain global environmental issues threatening not just mankind, but also the entirety of life on Earth. The predicaments we will be focusing on include: water scarcity, soil aeration and the depletion of the Ozone layer. We will be doing so by conducting controlled experiments based on our background research to test our hypotheses, recording our observations through informative graphic organizers, drawing conclusions, and determining whether our hypotheses were valid or false. All the while, The Scientific Method will be thoroughly implemented. The general aim of conducting this research is to give its readers a deeper insight into the valuable potential Newspaper Cuttings possesses and the ways it can be essentially beneficial in saving our planet as well as preserving precious resources.
