SCIENCE

From cars to food wrap and from plants to pens you can make anything and everything from Plastics. Plastics are synthetic chemical that don't mix well with nature and can take more than 500 years to break down in the environment. With society’s ever-increasing focus on protecting the environment there is a new emphasis in designing Plastics that will disappear quickly. Make an investigatory project report on ‘BIOPLASTICS’ emphasizing the following points:

a) What are bioplastics? b) How are bioplastics made? c) Are bioplastics good or bad? d) Why bioplastics are not much in use? e) Examples of bioplastics.

Instructions.

a) Write the project report on A4 sheets in your handwriting and present them in a file.

b) Paste relevant colourful pictures, cutting from magazines and newspapers, etc.

c) The Project should contain topic, index, concerned information, acknowledgment and references.

through our preparation and resilience - or to make them worse through our failures.
