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)

Jie Lun commented :
ReplyDeleteAfter we placed our material right infront of us. We started working. At first , we decided to cut a big piece from the middle of the styrofoam and place the green plastic cardboard into it. We completely have no idea how we got to cut out the middle piece , so me and Rauzanah started to scrap the styrofoam. It was messy because bits and pieces was flying out from the styrofoam. It was not working. So , we just pasted the green plastic cardboard onto another piece of styrofoam.
Meanwhile , Rauzanah start to cut out the woodgrove logo and to be pasted onto the mini model. I cut small pieces of acrylic to be the steps towards the fountain. After that , we glued everything in placed onto the green plastic cardboard. Next , we cut up using pen knife for the grass patches and glued them. Afterwards , we decided to add extra features onto the mini model by making more trees using cardboard. It was lot of steps but we managed to have it done. :D

ReplyDeleteThe model wasn't as nice as we wanted it to be . But , its ok because it is just a model anyway . We had put in a lot of effort in it . There was a lot of delay when doing the model beacause it was the exam period . The steps are stated at the previous comment from Jielun . There were lots of small parts and we had to glue it on the model . There were a few times when i accidently hit the hot glue . It was painful but after a while it becomes better .
