The gas-goner (Version 3)



This is the third version, and the improved version of the gas-goner. It is most likely that this will be my final product as I have already considered alot of points given from some students in the class, for example, the position of the product and how it works.

Essential Questions

The 3 Essential Questions that I chose:
1) How does the elderly be an disadvantage/advantage to the human society?
2) What can we do to make the elderly feel like they are part of the human society?
3) How can I engage to the elderly more so that they will not feel so bored?

I chose these as my TOP 3 Essential Questions because I find these questions very interesting. It also helps the elderly quite alot as it would help them to find life more meaningful for them. This will also make their brains more 'active' and this might make them live longer. We can also know that the elderly might be an advantage to the human society but it might also be a disadvantage to the human society. Engaging them will also make them feel more energetic so that they will not be so bored.

This is the reason of why I chose this 3 Essential Question.

Elderly Challenge - Observation 4


I discovered that some or maybe most of the elderly likes watching television programmes. Watching television programmes is actually also very good for them as they will not feel bored when watching television programmes at home but watching too much of it is also bad for their eye. I think that they should consider taking a short 5 minutes break every 15 to 20 minutes to rest their eyes, so that they will not spoil their eyes.
