Technological Process

Nathan followed a technological process to create a rubbish trap that stops rubbish from floating down the streams, through pipes and into the ocean. 

He created a plan, with a diagram and labels 

Then he explained how it works! After that Nathan built his model. 

He used a metal tray, put holes in them and added handles. 

He changed his first plan, because he wanted to use metal instead of wood. He knows that wood becomes rotten and metal is stronger. 

Our Innovations

Stop Rubbish floating to the ocean! In Room 27 we are very concerned about all of the rubbish that seems to be floating out to sea, down streams and through pipes. We saw a stream and pipe at the back of our Native Garden and wanted to create something to stop our school rubbish from ending up in the sea.

These are our ideas on how we can help to prevent or solve this problem. 

Jephthah used a plastic plate to create a lid for the pipe. He cut out the middle so that the water could go through. The plastic tabs around the side are to catch the big rubbish and the string in the middle is to catch the small rubbish.

Summer has strung together plastic cups, they have holes in the bottom. The cups catch the rubbish and the water goes through.

Terri used a plate to create a lid for the pipe. He used string to create a spiders web to catch the rubbish. 

Evy created a lip to put over the pipe. The wooden ice block sticks are used to catch the big rubbish and the string is used to catch the small rubbish. 

Donabelle created a net from string, inside her lid. This is strong enough to catch the rubbish. 

Kyra used a plastic plate to hold her net on the pipe. She used string and pipe cleaners to make the net strong. 

Makayla used pipe cleaners to make her net because they are strong and have wire inside. 

Michelle used a plastic plate and pipe cleaners because they are strong. 

Dallas used a pipe cleaner net to catch the rubbish.

Room 27 have been working hard on our innovative ideas. We are very concerned about all of the rubbish that seems to be floating out to sea, down streams and through pipes. We saw a stream and pipe at the back of our Native Garden and wanted to create something to stop our school rubbish from ending up in the sea. 

Watch this space... we will finish our designs today and add them to the blog.
