An inquiry into how and when children reuse objects in their daily life.

** Key questions: **

** . Do children know what reusing is? ** ** . Do children reuse? ** ** . Do children are conscious about the world problem? ** ** . Does children know how to reuse? ** ** . Can children reuse all time? or do they reuse a little bit? **

** For answering this, we are making a survey we started today, we have not finished, but here is the survey me are making. **

** Name ** ** : ** ** Grade ** ** : **

** Do you know what reusing is? **

** Yes No **

** Do you reuse **

** Yes No **

** How ? **

** Why do you think it is important to reuse? **

We had finished making the survey to 2 and 3 grade, 80 children from the 119 which answered the survey, said they knew what was reusing, but 51 of the answers were wrong. That means 90 children don't really know what reusing is, on percentage, approximately 75% do not know, 3 of each 4 children. We need to change that, today we are having an appointment with Flor (the pre primary coordinator) to see at what time we could start teaching pre kinder children what reusing is and how.

In this page we learn the different things we can reuse in the job, school, in home and everywhere! is too easy and we could all do it in many different ways like Re-filling a bottle or using the other side of the page in a paper! is just matter of caring i recomend this page to everyone that wants to learn how to reuse and where, check it out!

**On this page there are some activities which teach how to reuse in some creative, and fun way, it is making crafts. On the video is an example of how to reuse materials like cans, for making a very creative activity that kids will surely enjoy. It is another example of how does reusing works, because it can be for many others, like for house objects, giving it to other kids, using the item again for the same use, for art, decoration, and as this one shows us, for crafts. We learned that now instead of buying new expensive materials, we have useful things on our houses, and next time for making an artwork, put in action this reusing idea, which just showed another example of how reusing works. This is a very good way for children to reuse, and they enjoy it a lot.** = = = = =** [] **= = =

 * With this page we also learned a lot, and there was a phrase which is true and is powerful too, it was like this "Remember, one man's trash is another man's treasure". But apart from that we also learned even MORE things which can be reused, how and when, seeing new types of reusing strategies, and showing how each type of reusing style applied on each material or item works. And, we discovered more things, which were very useful, because this page also gave links to games and recycling and reusing pages, in which kids can learn in a fun way, and on some others see also how can reusing work, what kids will enjoy and what is fun for them. **

 * Here we learned a better definition of what reusing is, when to apply it, how to apply it, and to what applying it. We now know more things than we previously knew, and with a better and deeper understanding. It explains very good how does reusing works, and it also has a further definition in which it explains how does it also works on certain items. We learned that some things can also be reused as an artwork on a fun way, it was a very useful page which has an explanation that kids can easily understand and apply on their life, so they learn what and how to reuse, while they have fun and help the world**

I find a Ecodesigner name [|Mario Caicedo Langer] from Bogotá, Colombia he makes animal toys, props and accessories from trash, ordinary day-to-day objects, computer parts and other reused elements. It´s incredible how he reuse the daily life objects, I think you have never thinked thus objects can be reuse to make reusable animals.
