Catherine Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 This is a quasi-chemistry topic, or environmental science, but really ds is just interested in learning about how certain materials, like latex gloves, nitrile gloves, plastics of various kinds, grocery store plastic bags, etc. break down in the environment. Any ideas for resources? TIA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar7709 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 This might not be what you're looking for, but the book "The World Without Us" goes into it in detail. Not for young kids but I think interested middle graders and up could handle it. Or, an environmental science text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aras Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I saw a book in a store once called Recycling Projects for the Evil Genius, it had some really cool projects. It wasn't what I was looking for at the time, but I put it on my wish list for future reference. I think there were some projects where you recycled certain types of plastics into plastic building materials. http://www.amazon.com/Recycling-Projects-Genius-Russel-Gehrke/dp/0071736123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
