Dear Parents,
The fourth grade students will be making Ecocolumns in Science. To do so, each student
needs to collect 3 clear plastic, 2-liter bottles. The bottles should be clear, have straight
sides, and be rinsed. Do NOT use soap to clean the bottles.

The bottles need to be cut according to the instructions below and brought in by
Wednesday, September 19. Coca-Cola has changed their bottles, and they WILL NOT
work for Ecocolumns. Pepsi and local pop products are the style that work best.

Bottle Instructions:
Use the inches guide to help you mark lines on the bottles.
Then cut the bottles where the lines are marked. Making an incision with a scalpel or knife
and then cutting with scissors works well. Bring the parts LABELED A, B, C and D on the
diagram to school. Also, leave the cap on that goes with part C.

Please place the 4 items in a plastic grocery bag with your child’s name on it. Thank you for your help with this project!
