Description: This lesson provides a reading passage about the career of Laurence Brown, a Navajo chemical engineer. It introduces students to the the field of chemical engineering and terms associated with chemistry. It explains that a solution is the mixture of two or more substances, one of which is dissolved in the other. It provides an activity that demonstrates to students how they can make decorative handmade paper. Junk mail can be recycled to create a variety of colored pulps. Just shred, soak, and put in blender. A shorter time in the blender gives a confetti effect.
