Eco Friendliness of our group's 3D Model
Almost all the materials used for our model are biodegradable except for scotch tape, super glue and double sided tape. The materials used are mostly reused except for the stationaries like scotch tape and others. Remarks Materials used:
-Tracing paper Used to warp
certain parts of our project. E.t.c the walls.
-Cardboard Used as a base for our model and walls separating different parts of our
model
-Ice cream sticks Used to make monkey bars, benches, swings, tree house, tables, chairs and
ladders.
-Toilet rolls Used to make slide
-Used colour papers Used as labels, and for the megaphones
-Toothpicks Used to support the megaphones.
-Used papers Used to make paper balls.
-Wrapping papers Used to wrap our model
-Super glue Used to
glue parts of our model together
-Scotch tape Used to stick parts of our model together.
Playground designs/concepts that are linked to the novel
-Monkey bar and ladders
-Projector gaming world
-Bridge
-Swing
-Tree House
Remarks
Monkey bar and ladders- Act as an obstacle to the children like what Jesse and Leslie did.
Projector gaming world- This 'world' is virtual which is exactly the same as
Terabithia.
Bridge- In the end of the novel, Jesse built a bridge to
Terabithia to let his sister, Maybelle, to
cross. Hence, this acts as an entrance to our playground from the main building
Swing- In the novel, Jesse and Leslie played with swings in
Terabithia.
Tree House- Jesse and Leslie have a tree house in
Terabithia which they spent their time in
there relaxing.
Playground designs/concepts that meet the special needs of the children
-Bicycle
-Plastic Balls
-Ladders and monkey bars
-Flash cards
-See saw
-Leisure room
-Name tags
Remarks Bicycle- As the parents of Down syndrome kids are worried that their children will injure
themselves while cycling, Down Syndrome kids will not have the much chance to cycle.
Our
playground's bicycle is rooted to the ground so that the
children will not fall off because
of
unbalance. The bicycle also serve as a generator, changing the kinetic energy when the
kids are cycling to electrical energy that power up the lights and some parts of our
playground.
Plastic Balls- These balls can reduce the amount of injury caused when the children trip and fall.
See saw- This is a slightly less energy consuming thing to play with as Down Syndrome kids
have low muscle tone.
Ladders and monkey bar- These are energy consuming things to play with. The children can
play with these to improve their physical health if they want to.
Leisure Room- Here, the kids can enjoy themselves to play with board games and listen to
stories by the volunteers who will be at the leisure room.
Flash Cards- The children can learn faster with these as these cards can stimulate their minds.
Name tags- These tags can help the children in
recognising things.
