Elderly Challenge - Observation 1

I found out that some elderly usually like to do things their own way even when there are simpler ways to do something as they are used to doing things like how they do years back. For example how they skin apples. Now, there are easier ways to skin the apple, but many years ago, they do not have proper tools to skin the apples so they used small, sharp knifes to skin them. They should actually use the proper tools that was invented just few years ago as it is 10 times safer than how they skin the apples using small, sharp knifes.

Personal Reflection (NEWater visit)

Hi, this is Si Yuan here .
From this NEWater Plant visit, I have learnt at least 3 things:
1) Water is very difficult to get and ,
2) If we do not conserve water , we may lose our water supply and ,
3) We must be less choosy and learn how to appreciate what we have now and continue to save Gaia .

Also, I have learnt 2 concept from today's visit:
1) In order to make sewage water clean and safe enough to drink, it has to pass through two stages: the ultrafiltration and the micro-filtration. After it passes through those stages , the water is safe enough to drink .
2) To ensure that the water is clean, it goes through the ultra-violet treatment to kill all other bacteria from the water , but the problem is that if the is any dead bacteria that passes through the ultra-violet treatment , the dead bacteria would still be in the water so this treatment is just done to ensure the people that the water is very safe .

1 interesting thing that I have learnt today from the trip would be that the ultra-violet treatment was actually the cheapest item that they have in the factory! I thought that the ultra-violet treatment would be very expensive but to my surprise it is not !

As a student in Singapore, I can save the amount of water that I use everyday. Also, I can reuse the water that were used to mop to water the plants . I can also come out with a keynote presentation on saving water and go to primary schools for talks and tell them that saving water is very important .

That's all that I have to say for now . See you next time!

Good Sketches

Consolidating Our Research

On "Environment", global warming and air pollution are some of the major problems that we identified. As for global warming and air pollution, we need to look into the carbon emissions produced by the cars on the road. Also, we need to raise awareness on people who smoke, which contributes to the air pollution. We can also help teach the residents on how to save more energy wherever they are (Home or outside).


1) Carbon Emissions
Make an animated movie showing on how cars could harm the environment.


2) Smoking
Show photos of what will happen if they continue to smoke (To the environment).


3) Saving Energy
Create energy-saving electrical appliances for the residents to sell.
