Cycles of Matter Booklet (R) 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. - You will only get 1 copy of the booklet. If you lose it, see my website and print out another copy.
Front Cover- *Titled “Cycles of Matter” *Picture of some type *Your name
