Does it have this symbol on it?

Your activity!
Use Book Creator or Comic Strip It and design your own story of how an electrical product is made!
You should use any classroom resources available for your
activity, and go through the stages of:
1) Extracting
2) Making
3) Transporting
4) Using
and 5) Recycling
Think about what resources are used at each stage, and how the recycling stage can help feed these back into the making stage to save
resources.
