Desciption
The
picture explains itself. The water runs through the cloth
at the top, and then flows through the water holes, and
into the crushed tea tree leaves which acts as a soap.
It then flows through the single hole. It then goes into
the cloth that drops down so that you no were the water
falls. Then stick your hands in the hand holes and wash
your hands. The water that misses your hands goes through
the hollow bamboo and into the bamboo with the bottom.
You can use the left over water to water the garden.

Why
you should use our system? Our method for washing hands
is the best because....It
helps you collect the water and it doesn't pour out in
a big rush. It cleans our hands so the bacteria on it
get washed away.
It
is important to wash your hands because? You will
spread bacteria and when you go to eat and you have germs
on your hands you will get them on your food and get really
sick.
The
best way to wash your hands is firmly scrub them with soap
and firmly wash them and dry them. But
because you don't have enough water you should use our prototype.
You should wash your hands when:
1) Finish picking up rubbish.
2) Before eating food.
3) After touching raw food.
4) After going toilet.
5) After touching animals. |
We
have used bamboo, plastic bottles, string, glue, plastic
containers. What you could use is bamboo for the structure,
vines for tying it together and wood instead of plastic
containers.
We
stacked bamboo and tied them together as a windmill shape.
Then we added plastic containers on the ends of the bamboo
so when the water comes through it spins round by a handle
that you use by hand. The water spins round passing it
through to containers and then it goes into a filter which
it slows the water down so it doesn't rush out then it
comes out down the bottom and washes your hands.

Dr
Norris comments...The
health education material doesn't target the audience
but assumes they know about bacteria. Also, you would
have to wash your hands a million times a day which is
unrealistic - especially when there is little water.
John
Cocks, engineer comments...Good
concept. A diagram would help to show others what it looks
like and how to use it. |

Description
By Josh & Connor
Our invention is a filtering system like no other. It's
extremely simple but effective. We put it to the test by
filling it with dirty water. The water that came out was
perfectly clean a good water. Our invention uses little
water and if the water misses your hands than it quite conveniently
lands in a little basin. Health
education material
Now, thanks to our magnificent invention you don't have
to worry about dirt, grime, or sticks and leaves. It cleanses
the water and uses very little water to wash your hands.
Because you don't touch where the water comes out you are
less likely to catch typhoid. Every member in the household
should have a wonderful device like this one. |
Dr
Norris comments...The education material is worded
like advertising material rather than education. The words
'less likely to catch typhiod' is flippant and NOT a joke.
John
Cocks, engineer comments...Good
concept. Words do not explain materials, construction or
use. |
|
Health
education material:
You
should use our project because the steam will kill the
microbes on your hands and you will not get sick so easily
by eating with your hands.
When you have washed your hands it is necessary that you
dry them after you wash them microbes are more attracted
to moist hands. To dry them just put your hands around
the fire.
|
How
To Use our Prototype:
1
Light a fire in the bottom.
2 Do not touch any part of the aparatus from now on, as
you may get burnt or recontaminate your hands with germs.
3 When the pots or pans are hot pour just enough water
in the bottom of the top pan to cover the surface.
4 Put your hands over the steam at the orange level that
says just right. Leave your hands there for approx 20secs.
5 Dry your hands in front of the fire.
Materials
Used: Recycled pots/ pans, Kindling, Matches, Paper,
Water, Levels sign, Warning sign
Levels
Of Prototype: Bottom level- build the fire. Top level-
pour in the water
Caution:
Do not put your hands too close to the pots or pans or you
will get burnt, use the safety levels provided. Words in
Pidgin English.

Norris comments...Wording is complicated but you are
getting there.
John

a fire; no fire then no washing.

Washing
your hands is a must...So
you don't get any germs and a bad virus that is why you
want to wash your hands because surely no one wants to
get germs.
The
best way to wash your hands is...To
wash your hands for 20 seconds and dry your hands thoroughly
for 20 seconds too.
You
have no water therefore use our project... You
should wash your hands when:
1)
You are preparing a meal.
2) Been to the toilet.
3) After you've touched anyone's sores
So the sores don't get infected and so that you don't
infect yourself.
|
How
to use our prototype : 1: first of all you have to
find a place that is suitable to hang it. When you need
to wash your hands you open the cap and put in the straw
that is provided put the straw in the top like you see
in the picture. It comes out slowly so you don't waste
any water. When you have finished just take out the straw
and stick it back were you found it.
What
about the germs? The reason that we put the cap on
was so the germs couldn't get in. Then we noticed if the
cap is being touched before and after you washed your
hands the germs are still going to stay there so that's
when we thought of the straw idea. So that it can just
be bamboo. Because bamboo cleans itself and is hard for
germs to cling on.
The
tools they will use over there: 1 Ice cream containers,
wooden box, straw, bamboo.
You
know you want to pick our project because...
It is safe to use and the most hygienic your are going
to get. The straw is going to be made out of bamboo, bamboo
is for germs to cling on to. Easy to find and replace
each week the blues cap is designed to make sure that
when you wash your hands the germs can't get back into
the water.

Dr
Norris comments...You assume people know what germs
& viruses are but otherwise the material is OK. There
are realistic instructions as when to wash hands.
John

Health education Material
Why
should you use our system?
Our method of washing hands is the best because it kills
germs and uses less water than you need.
Why
is it important to wash your hands?
It is important to wash your hands because its stops germs
and bacteria spreading to other people.
What
is the best way to wash your hands?
The best way to wash your hands is to put a little amount
of soap on your hands and scrub them thoroughly for twenty
seconds and then rinse them with our prototype then dry
them with a clean towel.
When
do you wash your hands?
You should wash your hands every time you do messy jobs
like
picking up rubbish, befour you cook or touch food play
out side touching animals, playing in sand mud puddles
and going toilet.

EXPLANATION:
1.First
you pour clean water into the white bottle.
2. Then it flows through to the clear bottle.
3. Then you pull the clear plastic.
4. As you pull the plastic the water pours out through
the little hole in the clear drink bottle. When
you're done you push the plastic back in.
What
we used: 1.
Plastic bottles, 2. 1 ice-cream container, 3. a square
piece of plastic
What
you will use: 1. You could use your own plastic bottles,
2. Instead of using an ice-cream container you could use
wood boxes, 3. You could cut a plastic bottle for the
piece of plastic.

Dr
Norris comments...Uses less water than you need.???
You assume people know what germs & viruses are .
Would the students in PNG have a clean towel?
John
Cocks, engineer comments...Well
set out instructions. Needed are instructions on how to
build the system.

Health
Education Material
Why
should you use our system?
Our system is designed to save water when you tip it a
little bit of water comes out so you don't use to much.
We have a hole cut out especially for you to tip your
daily doses of water into. Our project was designed to
keep you healthy and clean.
It
is important to wash your hands because...If you do
not wash your hands you will maintain bad bacteria on
your hands enabling diseases which will make you very
sick causing death if it gets out of hand and that is
why we created our project.
The
method to wash your hands is...To put soap onto wet
hands and rub for 20 seconds to eliminate the contamination
of germs on your hands then rinse off and dry thoroughly.
But
because you don't have enough water you should use our
prototype you should wash your hands when...You
touch animals
Touch raw meat
After using the toilet
Before eating
After touching or applying a band aid.
|
EXPLANATION
Our
prototype is a system that lets you wash your hands and
also tries to save water. It is made specifically for
hand washing.
You
fill it up by opening the flap at the top then pouring
water into it. You then tip the container up so that the
water goes out of the bottle (tube). Water then sprinkles
out of the opening. When the water has been used and the
water is no longer coming out of it you need to use the
stand. Which can be altered so that the water can come
out more easily.
What
they would use...
v Plastic bottles- Hollow Bamboo Sticks
v Plastic Containers- Barrels

HEALTH
EDUCATION MATERIAL
Our
method of washing hands is the best because, you can reuse
the bamboo soap scrubber over and over again.It also holds
water so it also cleans your hands as well as scrubbing
the germs and bacteria off your hands. It is important
to wash your hands because,you have lots of germs on your
hands, and you have to get rid of them before they make
you get sick and give you a disease.
The best way to wash your hands is,wash or scrub your
hands for 20 secounds, then dry them thoroughly. It is
important to dry your hands, so that any germs left over
get sweeped away. But because you don't have enough water
you should use our prototype.
You
should wash your hands,when you have finished going to
the toilet, going to touch food, and after you have touched
rubbish.

Our
Prototype
What
you will need:
·
Milk Bottles
· Sponges
· Wire or netting
· Glue
How
it works: You pour water into the top. The middle
slot will stop the water from coming out too fast. You
pull the slot out and the water will then start coming
through the sponge. Put pressure on the sponge and then
wash your hands. Underneath the prototype there will be
a container that you collect the water in and then you
start all over again.

Wara
Bilong project:
What
we used to make the project:
·
Dish washing liquid bottle
· Pump water bottle
· Plastic
· String
What
is it for?
So that children in Papua New Guinea have clean hands
How it works:
It works pretty simple, all you do is put water in the
pump bottle and then water comes out but with some soap
as well.
How
we made it:
We got a hole puncher and punched holes in the plastic
used the string to tie knots in the holes. Then we got
a cloth and hot glued it to the bottle & used the
scissers to make a little cut so we could put another
bottle on it.

Health
Education Material
Why
should you use our system?
Our
method of washing hands is the best because you have soap
to wash your hands and nobody else has soap on their prototype
and our device brings out just a little bit of water which
is good because you can use your other bit of water for
something else like for drinking or wash something at
school.
It
is important to wash your hands because you get the germs
off your hands and that is why you need soap because water
alone doesn't wash you hands.
The
best way to wash your hands is put them under water and
put soap on them and rub it in for 20 seconds and rinse
the soap off of them and dry them thoroughly other wise
you could get a virus, diseases, or get sick because you
will have bacteria on your hands and when you touch another
person you will have spread germs.
But
because you don't have enough water you should use our
prototype you should wash your hands when preparing food,
your finished in the toilet, touching food and touching
animals and many more reasons why you should wash you
hands.
