Cycles of Matter Booklet (R)



Cycles of Matter Booklet (Biology – Markley)

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.

- Pages must be in the order listed below

- Pictures for the front and back cover may be printed out and glued.

- Collect 3 sheets of paper and fold in half like a booklet.

- Staple the binding of the booklet.

- Use pages 74-80 in your book; internet; Notes on website to help you complete your booklet.
