ususally lives in areas where the soil is poor or without enough
nutrients. The plant needs to complete its feeding with insects. It
catches its prey with a trapping structure at its leaves.
The sunflower loves the sunlight and it moves towards the Sun
direction.

Final task
Recycling materials project
Nora have found a way to have new objects. Create them by herself! Its fun and
also it helps taking care of Nature. Would you like to make a pot with Nora?

STEP

Bring some empty tuna tin and some

clothespins from home. Have you through
away the tin cover to the yellow container
to recycle?

STEP

2 Glue the clothespins around the tin to cover it

up. You can decorate the pot using colours or
sticking other materials (paper, buttons, nut
shells ...).
So, we reuse.

STEP

3 Now we have a new pot without buying

it. This is a way to reduce purchases
and avoid wasting materials.

STEP

4 In groups, make a list of objects that we can create from reused materials.
Then, draw the object you would like to make and give it a name.
