PROJECT OBJECTIVE #1
A collaboration between Woodgrove Secondary School Science Department, Craft & Technology; and Temasek Polytechnic to design and construct a solar-powered water fountain
PROJECT OBJECTIVE #2
Creation of a learning corner for the teaching and learning of solar energy
We are going to MOE Excel Fest 2010
Attend our sharing sesson at Suntec Room 209 on 6 March at 3.30 pm!!!

TO DO LIST:
1. calculate the number of modules & batteries needed (JASMINE SOO & CINNY)
2. things to consider when doing the structure:
-the solar panel should be tilt how many degrees? 5 to 15 degrees
-what kind of solar cell to use?
-materials used for structure?
3. go to Sim Lim tower -> to source for a small pump & motor for our prototype
4. do up the prototype scale, [1:10]
(MR KUMAR, MR FLAVIAN, LEON & JASMINE CHEN)
5. what other things to add? -pump? -lights? -decorations?
6. internet research on how a typical water pump look like
7. light intensity -> plot graph for tilting (when school reopens) (EVERYBODY, TAKE TURNS)

Siti: There were a lot of complications while doing the measurements at the water fountain . We had to
ReplyDeletego to and fro from the D&T workshop and the water fountain area because we had calculated the length
wrongly . It was tiring . To make the model looked real , we also went out with Mr Kumar to Vista Point
to buy the materials needed for the model . Since the project was conducted in the middle of our exam
period , there was a lot of postponing and we had to delay the making of the model
Jie Lun commented :
ReplyDeleteThe school fountain is quite cramp beacuse it is hard to measure the correct reading for the fountain as there is too many plants around it. But we managed to resolve the problem.
So , we have come up with a mini fountain which uses solar power that allow no electricity used. After we have decided the scale of the mini model , we went out to buy materials we needed. We bought a mat to be the grass of the mini model , a styrofoam for the base and a green plastic cardboard. We spend around 30minutes to buy all the materials and head back to school. The mini model was delayed and it was only done immediately after our last exam paper. It was a rush , but we still manage to complete it. :D
