After the meeting, we spent much time deciding what our product is. We needed to consider that this product should conclude a country’s culture and environmental science. We searched a lot of contries different culture and the product’s materials could be recycle. Finally, we dicided to do lamps ( or we can call lantern) which is used in Chinese New Year, and we can make lanterns by using waste products, such as waste bottles. In March, we picked some materials on the Internet. Children can use every waste thing to decorate their own lamps.

Our group met the activity holder to discusse about what we gonna do during the so called Science Night activity. She told us to have an activity concerning science, Fiesta, and bring celebration across cluture science into it. Therefore, my group made a decision to make lamps with those little kids in the Glenside School. We will let children to draw whatever they want on the lamps, and we will tutor and help them to finish it. And for the material, we will have plastic bottle to make lamps. Plastic can be recycle, and everybody should consume them and they can keep it whne they come to the Science Night to make their own lamps.

On the last Thursday, our team went to Glenside Elementary School for having a meeting with Ms. Fisher. We talked about what should we do in this project, which kind of little experiment can we choose and what this activity about. In the activity, we will teach almost 100 children and their parents to do a handmade. This activity is more about some celebrations in some different cultures and will begin on Mar, 23rd . We need to find one or two celebrations about culture, such as making sauce of taco. However, this celebration should be about environment. Thus, we decide to make a traditional Chinese Flower light in the Spring Festival. This flower light can be re-useable, which means its materials are some plastic things, such as water bottles, some bottles left over from laundry detergent and so on. All of us think that flower light can make old bottles become beautiful lanterns for decorating our home. It also can reduce the amount of plastic trash.
