In this activity, learners use chemistry to produce weathered "antiqued" paper with burned edges. Learners first soak white paper in coffee and then apply a charring solution of ammonium chloride.

Learners shred used paper, add water, and blend it into pulp. They then strain and roll the pulp out to make new paper.

Learners observe different paper samples under ordinary room light and under a black light to learn some of the chemical differences between different types of paper.
