We live in an age of fast-paced electronic technology, yet
still use a huge quantity of paper each day. Paper scientists
and paper engineers keep this big industry on the cutting
edge and enable it to keep up with demand. This workshop will
show you how to link science activities taught in your classroom
to real-world applications of paper science and technology.
You'll learn about the fundamental concepts of paper pulping,
paper making and testing, the chemistry of paper, recycling,
energy, and environmental impact. You will do hands-on labs
and tour a paper plant.
