Wow! screamed Sara. Mom mom mom!!! let me tell you something. I found a way to make sustainable plastic. Isn't that terrific mom? Yes honey. Let's tell your daddy. He will be amazed. Maybe we can make a story, Mom said. Yeah, great idea, said Sara.

Mom said, maybe you can name your story first. Sara sighed, I had so many great ideas. Mom said, you can draw a lottery. Magnificent idea, said Sara. Oh, I got

 my first scientific discovery from the lottery. I like this one that I got.

This is how I selected my book name. Then I started to write my book.

Story begins.....

One day I was trying to make a sustainable plastic. I was playing with natural materials. My mom said, what are you making. I said, I am making sustainable plastic. My mom was so surprised.

My mom said, I can help you as I am a scientist. Wow! thank you mom, I said. You're welcome, my mom said. My mom guided me to make the sustainable plastic. I grinded corn kernels with the grinder. My mom said, now we will put it in the fermentation tank.

In the fermentation tank, dextrose will convert into lactic acid. After that in a chemical plant, lactic acid will convert into lactide. Then lactide will polymerize into long-chain molecules of polylactide acid (PLA). This is how we made sustainable plastic.

Me and my mom told our friends and family about the discovery. They were very surprised and proud of me. My Mom suggested we can publish your discovery in the newsletter. I said, we can contact the council.
