Classroom Work Desk

Ergonomics and Anthropometry Part 1

1.One setup is preferred because the desk is less cluttered,it is easy to use the laptop and see the computer screen,the chair is more comfortable and the lighting is not too bright.

2.Lighting,comfort,space,accessibility.

3.Lighting is important as it is hard to work in an environment that is too bright or too dark.Comfort is important as it allows you to remain focused on the work.Space is important as working in a small place can be stressful.Accessibility is important as you will not waste time and energy finding things and moving things

Selecting your EQ's

1)Do the elderly really need our help?

2)Do we have the ability to help them?

3)What are the problems that the elderly need our help with?

4)What do the elderly need,other than financial assistance?

5)How can we help them?

Understanding The Elderly Challenge

The four key recommendations of the report:

1)Housing for seniors

2)Accessibility for seniors

3)Caring for seniors

4)Opportunities for seniors

State one way that the CAI report is recommending to make our public housing more elderly-friendly:

Barrier-free society

State two ways on how we can ensure that the quality of elderly care here in Singapore is affordable

1)Top-up medisave accounts of less well-off Singaporeans when there are budget surpluses

2)Family physicians should play an important role in the management of healthcare needs for seniors

Three things we can do,as SST students,to help overcome these challenges

1)Give up our seats to the elderly

2)Help my grandparents with their household chores

3)Preparing on when I will become an elderly(if I live that long)

Personal Reflection (NEWater visit)

1)The 3 takeaways from today's visit are that water will not be wasted if we use it properly and recycle it,Singapore's 4 national taps and that NEWater does not contain a lot of minerals.

2)The 2 concepts that I have learnt today are that how filtration can purify most of the water and how ultraviolet rays can kill living things.

3)1 interesting thing that I have learnt today is that Singapore's prime minister first drank NEWater after a tennis game.

4)I can help water conservation in singapore by not wasting water at home or at school.

Convert sunlight to electricity

Convert sunlight to heat water or air

Pros:Abundant,no fuel used

Cons:Expensive,not available at night

Tidal power

Long term source of electricity,more predictable

Research

1. Research to me is finding information that will be useful.Research can be also used to reach conclusions.
2. Research is important because we might need the information or the skills later in life.Research can also give us interesting information.
3. We can conduct good research by getting information from reliable sources.

ADMT Lesson 1:Personal Reflection

1.Art,Design,Media and Technology (ADMT) to me is something that makes our life easier and more comfortable.

2.ADMT is important because without it everything in this world would be dull and boring.

3.Some of the skills I would like to learn in ADMT are how to draw better and how to do animations.

4. In a world without ADMT,there will be no creativity.
