How is Paper Made?

Did you know!!!

1. Trees are cut down in the forest and are then sent to a paper mill.
2. At the paper mill, a machine removes the bark from the wood. 
3. Once the bark is removed from the wood, it is chopped into very small pieces with a chipper.
4. The chipped wood and some chemicals are added to a big pressure cooker.
5. Now the soft, slippery paper pulp or slurry is poured into a container. The container pours the slurry onto a large screen. This is where the water is drained from the paper.
6. Next, the paper is pressed flat between two rollers.
7. Then it needs to dry which involves using air and or heat to remove water from the paper sheet.
