1. Explanation of Challenge 2. The Problem I Chose 3. The Solution I Chose 1. What was difficult? 2. What did you learn? 3. What advice can you give others for better time management? In this activity, we did a challenge. The challenge was to pick an environmental problem, then invent a solution. we had to make a prototype and then make a video of our solution. We also could've signed up for the real competition for a real prize for the solution to our problems. For my problem I picked litter in beaches. The reason why I picked this problem because if you look at local beaches sometime you'll find wrappers, pop cans and also some class. This can lead to smelly beaches and dirty beaches that aren't really fun to play in! I made up my invention which is called the "shovehole". It has holes in the middle so when you shovel up garbage sand goes down to the ground while the trash from the beach stays! This can help because it is made up of steel, so it is heavy duty and won't break easily. It is also cheap and is good for the environment! | 1. This challenge was an invention challenge. We researched an environmental problem, did a drawing, made a prototype and then made a video describing our problem and solution. 2. The Problem I chose was beach litter. Beach is found found in beaches and sometimes it can get really bad as you can see in the picture above. 3. The Solution I chose was "shoveholes". They are shovels but with holes in them. When you shovel litter in a beach, sand goes out through the holes and liter stays in the shovehole. 1. The most difficult thing was coming up with the problem, and then to top that, it was hard for a solution! 2. I learned about inventing, time management, and environment. I learned to problem solve also. 3. The first 45 minutes, build your prototype, and after that, take 10 minutes to prepare you video and then take another 10 minutes to make a video and for the 30 minutes, you create your blog post. |
