#OUR REFLECTIONS ON THE SIXTH IPW REFLECTION - 8:56 PM
These are the reflections on the sixth IPW class:Low San Zeng (21):
On the 6th week of grace, we were asked by the teacher to choose one of the ideas we had. Of course, we had chosen the can opener, which we were going to design. It is easy to create, as the materials we needed were cheap and easy to find. Our teacher asked us to sketch all the idea we had in a 3D-dimension picture. We had to draw the top, the center and the bottom of it. We divided ourselves to sketch out the design we had in mind.
Ng Guan Wei (22):
During the 6th lesson, we were called to draw a 3D figure of the object that we are making. We drew the top cover, the sides and the bottom. We sketched out the can and everything and then chosen the cheapest and easiest to find materials. We drew a can with a slider as an opener.
Terry Ng Hou Jin (23):
The sixth lesson of IPW, we chose our project proposal and decided on that idea. It is a simple aluminum can that does not have a opener. Instead, we decide to fix a slider at the top of the can so that when we cannot finish the drink, we can slide the metal piece to cover back the hole and leave the drink for later. I think this idea is good and simple and also environment-friendly.

#OUR REFLECTIONS ON THE FIFTH IPW LESSON - 8:27 PM
These are the reflections for the fifth IPW lesson:Low San Zeng (21):
On the 5th lesson of grace, we continue our topic on the can opener, which I suggested last week. We spoke each turn regarding the can opener. How we should make it, how it will benefit others, and why people would want to buy it. I suggested that people would want to buy it as it is pollution-free, cheap and easy to use. Others members of my group suggested different ideas and we agreed on each other.
Ng Guan Wei (22):
On the 5th IPW class, we set our target on the can opener, making it environmental-friendly, and using cheap materials for example aluminium to make the new cap. The new cap will consist of a slider, which can slide to open the can and slide to close the can, making the person who drinks it open the can with lesser effort, and allowing him/her to slide the cap back if he/she cannot finish the drink. Most people hate spilling can drinks over, especially on carpeted floors. So if the can topples over, the drink will not be spilled.
Terry Ng Hou Jin (23):
This is the fifth week we are having our IPW lesson. So far, our progress was good. Everyone was co-operative with one another. I feel that working in a group is fun because we can exchange ideas with one another and also we can contribute to the project. For this lesson, Mr Ganesh was not in school so a relief teacher took us for the whole period. We did the worksheet we downloaded and brainstormed about the ideas. However, we could not think of any ideas.
Nicholas Teo Shao Wei (24):
After attending today’s lesson, which is already the 5th lesson, I didn’t really learn much. Mr Ganesh is not here again and a relief teacher came to relief. The teacher is friendly but did not teach so we just used our macbooks to study ourselves and guan wei helped to post our previous reflections. Although the relief teacher did not teach, she will answer any questions we would like to ask.
