Why
I chose this design:
I
chose this design because it is effective and cheap. And
Papua New Guinea materials were used.
How
to use:
You
pour water from a bucket into the top box, which drains
through little holes and goes down the pipe. Then you
rub your hands on the skewers using friction to relieve
germs. Then the water then drains through more holes into
a bigger box. Next the water in the box goes through a
bit of hose into the wastewater collection box. Then the
water goes through another hose onto the ground.
What
it is made out of:
Pipe,
Plastic mat, 2x Ice cream containers, Wood, Eraser, Skewers,
Duck tape,
Cellotape, Plastic box. |

·
Effectiveness
It
is effective in controlling the water flow. Some thought
about how to slow the flow of water would be useful to
save water.
·
Durability
Robust
materials have been selected.
·
User-friendliness
It's
a straight forward design.
·
Communication
The
combination of photos and diagram is effective in explaining
the design.

The
Great Germ Escape
This
game can be played by 2-6 people.Each person chooses a
counter and places it at the start choose who will start
then roll the die and move forward the number of spaces
shown on the die. If you land on the water droplet you
have to pick up a clean card and if you land on a germ
you have to pick up a germ card. The clean cards are cards
that are good so you can move forward a couple of spaces
or have another turn. A germ card are bad cards that make
you miss a turn or go back a couple of spaces. There are
also questions on some spaces and your decision will take
you to different paths. The first one to land on the finish
is the winner continue playing to see who will come second,
third, fourth, fifth and sixth. |

Norris comments...
This
is really cool. I would love to know what the questions
are?
Perhaps
for bigger kids a larger board might be necessary for
a longer game.
A
really great idea. |

Why
I choose this design:
I
chose this design because it is cheap and easy to use
and understand.
How
to use:
Untie
the main big bottle and fill it up with fresh water, then
tie it back on securely with the rope. When all this is
done, fill up the light blue container with rocks. Then
open the valve/cap and pick up a couple of rocks and rub
them on your hands with the water for 20 seconds. Then
put back the rocks, and close the valve/cap. And then
hold out your hands until they are dry.
What
you need:
Rope,
2x Ice cream containers, Rope, Wood, Valve, Rocks.

how to use less water would be helpful eg filling a tipping
cup.
