Week 3 Reflection

We have started to do our project. We are trying to do a project on designing green bags.

These are the tasks:

Stanly and Shaun find how global warming affects the world.

Kenneth find how plastic bags are harmful for the environment.

Wei Ren and Jie Hng Find how does green bag is better.

I think this would be a good project.

Hope everyone would take this seriously.

the shopping bag idea: Kenneth and reflection lesson 4

The idea of our product is finalised. Our idea is making an advertisement about saving the world and promoting our own creative shopping bag. Our creative shopping bag will be made with a plastic folder and decorate our bag. Every bag will be unique and special. 

We will design the reusable shopping bag by buy plain shopping bags to design. We will also have fabric markers to design the shopping bags. The plastic folder can be designed and things placed inside. 

Today, every one is giving ideas on the product that JieHng and I had thought of. 

Our advertisement will  be conveying the message of plastic bag is non biodegradable, animal can not eat them, there is alternatives of plastic bag. The creative shopping bags are more creative , it will be more attractive to have their own personal shopping bag and using the shopping bag can also help to save the world.

Lesson 3 Reflection

My group has just decided on what to do for the project. We will be discussing about the topic on reusable shopping bags.

New Idea from me : kenneth soon- shopping bags

I got an idea when i am watching a youtube video. This video is about a actor drew on an environmental friendly shopping bag as it is very creative. We can maybe print or draw our slogan or campaign on the shopping bag. Selling it and promote the message and get the money to donate to environmentally friendly funds.

I have search for some videos on youtube to inspire us on how can we start saving the earth. 

Saving the earth by growing vegetables

Even children aspire to save the world, so why can't the people older than them help to save the world. I think that this advertisement shown in Singapore really convey its message really well and many people started to reduce the usage of plastic bags. These children really understand the importance of saving and helping the world. we should really also learn and help the world.

I have found out a video done by our maris stella student. It is about global warming and this is what we going to learn and do.

How can I save the world : Kenneth soon

I am Kenneth Soon (34). I am supposed to research on how to save the world.

1. How to save the world at home?

2. How to save the world in school?

3. How to save the world outside?

1. We can actually save the world at home. By doing something simple can really help to save the world. Switching the lights when it is not in used , change to energy saving light bulbs will help to save the world as it will reduce the use of electricity and reduce of electricity will then reduce the giving out of sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxide and carbon emissions. Switching off the sockets will also help to save the world as small amount of electricity is used when the sockets are not completely switched off. Turn the temperature of the air-con to 25 degrees Celsius or even use fan instead of Air-con as it uses less energy than the Air-con. 

2. In school, we can save the world by switching the lights of class rooms and toilets when no one is inside. Using fans instead of Air-con and switching the temperature into 25 degrees Celsius. Reuse paper as using paper will harm the forest. switch the light bulbs into energy saving ones. 

3. Outside, do not spray hairspray that contains CFCs , this will cause the depletion of ozone layer. The ozone layer helps us in protecting the Earth. Drive cars that runs on electricity or water fuel cars. these cars do not give out exhaust gas that will harm the world. Go on public transport and share the transport. Use a recycle bag on shopping than using plastic bags when go shopping.

I hope everyone will help to save the world.

lesson 3 reflection: Kenneth Soon

I am Kenneth Soon (34). This week, our group had discussed a lot of things, they are:

1. What product our group wants to do?

2. What we going to research on?

3. What we members going to do?

1. Firstly, our leader, Jie Hng thought of making solar panel installed on a bicycle which acts something like the dynamo. Another idea of Jie Hng is installing a solar panel on bag to take in the sunlight and convert it into energy which will charge the power of our macbooks. However, these ideas are all rejected by us because of these reasons: 

(i) The materials of making the solar panel is very expensive

(ii) The ideas are unlikely to be built.

So, I thought of making advertisement, and many members add in their opinions to improve it, like educating the teenagers using these videos about saving gaia.  The videos can also raise the awareness of the people. So, in the end, we have decided on advertisement, and it is about climate change this is very important. An idea was contributed by someone, to print brochures or posters on the videos and climate change. The size of the words must not be small as this will not attract people on reading it. 

2. We are going to research on how to save the world and and the causes that cause the changes. It is very important on doing this as we must make our objectives clear as if even we do not know what global warming and climate change is all about, how can we convey the massage and faith to the others. So every member must do it.

2. Weiren and Stanley are to find out the cause of the global warming. There are a lot of causes for global warming to happen like the use of hairspray, the giving out of methane gas that will destroy the ozone layer is what we are going to research.

Kenneth and Shaun are to find out how can we people save the world, we must know the causes to see how to save the world. The world is so important that all of us should really support us and save the world. 

Jie Hng who contribute himself on researching : If nothing was done to save the world, what will happen. This is again important for our advertisement as this will warn the people that our planet is sick, if we do not help to save the world, the world will die. 

I think that this week, everyone is cooperative and did everything to help.

Reflection on lesson 1 and lesson 2( Kenneth soon)(34)

I am Kenneth soon in 2 Henry. I am going to make the two reflections on lesson 1 and lesson 2.

Reflection 2 (lesson 2):
We have decided our group name be " Saving Kaya" this name was contributed by one of our group members call shaun seow. This name was chose among 3 names that were contributed by other team mates. A voting session was conducted among our group and " saving kaya " received the most number of votes. Roles were selected for our group members. However, being the last two groups and the class has forty-two pupil, we have five members. Therefore, we have five posts, they were Leader, Assistant-leader, encourager, questioner and recorder. We have decided the posts for our members.
