task: protecting an egg. make sure the egg won't break when u drop it down from the top
materials provided: 1.an egg 2.masking tape 3.a blue colour balloon 4.a plastic bag 5.a red colour balloon 6.a piece of a4 paper 7. string
members: huat, chiaYee, weitheng and me
our 1st strategy: insert the blue balloon into the red ballon. put the egg into the blue ballon and blow both balloon. the egg will be protected and support by the air in the ballon and preventing it to reach the floor directly. somehow, the ballon that given by edwin soo were in "laozy" quality. we hardly insert the egg into the balloon.
hence, we come out with the 2nd strategy:
2nd strategy
small pieces of a4 paper were used to fill up the empty space around the egg to give a better protection. and the result:
aha, cute ler~
presentation: chia yee sells the idea. she was so confident with the product "u can throw it as many time as you want, the egg will not break." aha. scary~ if we failed.... we will surely.."sweat" =.=! aha. but, somehow, this egg protector looks cute after the eyes, shirt and pants are drawn.
and suprisingly, we are the only group who made it. edwinSoo asked us to drop it from the top once. but chia yee did it twice. luckily, we passed. aha. however, if chia yee drop it again and again, i'm sure, we may fail. cause i'm not that confident with the balloons. aha.
5 steps of ProblemSolving: 1.problem identification 2.problem analysis 3.generating possible sollution 4.analyzing solution 5.selecting best solution and evaluation
however, the most memorable key word in this tutorial is "excusology". =.= we people always find reasons to cover up our failure. we did blame on the laozy balloon when the egg can't get into the balloon... we did blame there's not enough masking tape... not enough time etc. etc. these are "excusology" though the "reasons" that we mentioned are trUE. aha
