Our project is to create a website about the great diversity of
plants and animals at Bukit Batok Nature Park. We would also like to spread the
important message of conservation and protection of our natural heritage in
this way. To make our website more interesting and interactive, we have
included a funpage to engage young minds on the joy of learning about nature.
We hope to publicise the website through assembly and class talks, posters and
flyers.

| Stagnation-free laundry pole holder |
| Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary School |
| Bhargav Sri Ganesh |
The laundry pole holders in HDB apartments are open-ended. As a
result any amount of dirt can get inside the holder and on rainy days, the rain
water would get inside the holder. Mixing up with the accumulated dirt, the
holder would be full of mucky water. The next time, one goes to insert the
laundry pole, the dirty water is splashed on the hands and the clean clothes.
Also, this stagnant water is the breeding ground for mosquitoes, leading to
unwanted and unhealthy conditions.
The newly devised standard laundry pole holder will have a small hole (of about
1 cm diameter) at the point where the holder meets the wall. Due to gravity and
the angle at which the holder is installed on the wall, water would flow down
the tube and will flow OUT of the tube without any water collection within the
holder.

| Reusing rainwater |
| Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) |
| Ainsley Tham Yingming, Janan Tobiah Lim Jin Heng, Shaun Low Fang Jie, Evin Chua
Bing Yuan |
The roofs of the estates are slanted, so that when it rains the
rainwater would be collected by the holes at the sides of the roofs and it
flows through pipes into a rain water tank. There will be a pipe connected to a
fresh PUB water tank. In the pipe, there would be a ball on a stick to control
the water entering the rainwater tank when it is not full. Pipes would be
connected to the toilet bowls. Thus, less PUB water is used.

| Being a good pet owner |
| Qihua Primary School |
| Alicia Tay Hui Xiang, Esther Lim Ji Aun, Eunice Lim Poh Yee, Chua Hui Xiang
Audrey, Chua Wan Yee |
Many people buy pets because they are cute. However, most people
do not know how much effort it takes to look after the pets and they even
abandon their pets. We propose to set up a system that teaches young children
to be good owners by getting them to research about the types of animals they
like and to take care of real animals before they decide to become pet owners.

| Recycled notebook |
| Keming Primary School |
| Ho Ping, Charie Lim, Zhao Qiu Yu |
This project is basically about reducing paper wastage in the
staff room, making use of papers discarded by teachers and reusing the paper by
making them into attractive notebooks. These notebooks are then sold at a
minimum cost to the students to be used as their daily rough work or messages.
The money collected are then given to school fund for needy pupils.

| The toilet / urinal sink |
| Qihua Primary School |
| Lim Boon Khim, Jonathan Roy s/o Vijayan |
The water before it is used to flush the toilet or urinal is
clean. We can use this water to wash our hands first before using the water to
flush the toilet. In this way we can save water. We propose to build a toilet
or urinal system that allows us to wash our hands first before flushing the
toilets.

Our tRibox project is to reuse the A4-sized printing paper boxes
as recycling bins for paper in the classrooms. With creativity, we transformed
these plain boxes into eye-catching recycling bins for paper so as to create
environmental-friendly classrooms within the school and raise environment
awareness. This will facilitate the collection of used paper in the classrooms
for the pupils on duty to throw them into the main recycling bins located at
the recycling corner. Our objective is to give a new lease of life to waste
(empty A4-sized printing boxes) and a new function (recycling bins for paper).

| Canteen food waste to "vitamins" for plants |
| St. Hilda's Primary School |
| Darren Lee, Clement Chua Wei Yang, Jesse Lai, Chia Xin Wei |
Our industrial partner, AFPD introduced to us a brochure on
waste-food management machine, (Eco-pot) that can dispose food waste and treat
them within 3-5 hours each day by breaking it down into water and carbon
dioxide using a bio-treatment agent. These food-wastes are to be left in the
machine for 3-6 months. At the end of 3 months, the waste material can be taken
out and used as fertilizer, ("vitamins") for our plants in our school's
eco-garden. Each school day, we have 2,500 pupils plus 50-80 teachers eating in
our canteen. The food waste that can be generated from the 6 canteen stalls,
can easily add up to 4-5 kg of food / liquid waste per stall. Hence, to reduce
the waste generated by each stall, we installed 3 Eco-pot machines behind our
canteen area for the 6 stalls to throw in their food waste into the 3 Eco-pots
given.

| Cleaner discharge water made possible by cooking oil??? |
| Ghim Moh Primary School |
| Zhang Nai Dan, Sun Zhuo, Wong Li Zheng Brandon, Devy Jayanti Setiady |
This project would solve an environmental problem related to Water
Management. Very often the oil used in the kitchen, canteen, hawker centres are
poured down the sink. This would clog the sewers and pollute the water. This
project involves the use of old cooking oil to make soap. This soap can be used
for washing hands, dishes, clothes and mopping the floor by dissolving the soap
in buckets of water.

| Joy of nature |
| Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) |
| Wang Xiang He Jonah |
 Nature
is not remote-limited to parks and wilderness areas. It is abundant and readily
available, as close as your own neighborhood park/garden. Think of the light
that filters through the new leaves in the trees and the birds sing aloud in
the early morning. We have about 300 species of birds recorded in Singapore.
But where are all the birds like common Tailorbird, Common Lora and Sun Bird?
Singapore is the garden city. Every year we plant a lot of trees for shade but
not for the birds and other animals.
This conservation project is to study the creation of a balance environment for
the bird by growing food plants and trees/plants that they use to make their
nests.

| A caring and compassionate society: The intelligent bus-stop |
| Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) |
| David Ong Chern Ern, Cheong Kwok Wy, Lek Hao Kai |
We realised that the elderly and handicapped have difficulty
getting up the bus because the steps are too high and because of the 'kiasu'
mentality of Singaporeans. Our group has therefore decided to invent 'The
Intelligent Bus-Stop', which will not only help the elderly and handicapped get
up the bus, it might also help confused tourists find their way round
Singapore.
