The Idea
For hundreds of years, people longed for a vehicle that didnt have to be pushed of pulled. As early as the 1400s, italian inventor Leonardo Da Vinci drew plans for a vehicle that was driven by clockwork. Nobody believed it would work and da vinci never got around to building it anyway. But a man named Gottlieb Daimler invented the world first four-wheeled car.

The Problem
Daimler at first built a wooden bicycle with an engine and his son took his took this "motorcycle" on its first ride...
and came safely home again... The motorcycle can only fit two person only.

The Solution
The following year, Daimler tried his engine inside a carriage. The result was the world's first four-wheeled car. Although it did not travelled far...

The Legacy
By the 1890s, several companies were making cars. In France, inventors Panhard and Levassor followed Daimler's design with one major change which was having the engines at the front. After that, most cars had their engines at the front. Every car company boasted that their designs were best. So, in 1895, they decide to have a race from Paris to Bordeaux-and back again-to show who was right. Early cars were so expensive to make, onlu a handful of people could afford them. Everyone else just stood and stared as rich motorists roared by. Over the decades, racing cars became lower, sleeker and much faster. By the 1960s, they needed an extra frame at the back to stop them from taking off. Crowds at race tracks grew bigger each year, especially for the popular Grand Prix races. Everyone wanted the thrill of watching fast cars zoom past. Today, there are more cars on the roads than ever. They use up lots of fuel and puff horrible fumes into the air. Now, engineers are inventing cars that wont pollute the air . They might run on energy from the sun or give off water instead of nasty fumes. Tommorow's cars will be all kinds of astonishing shapes. Some of them may even fly.

Saturday, September 15, 2007 - Solving common problems through 'FILA' Chart. :

My group and I solved problems like the English 400 words presentation by using the FILA Chart. We did this by asking ourselves questions and finding the answers to them. Then we finally compiled those answers and questions together and placed all of them inside the report (Action Plan). Finally finishing the report after much hard work, thanks partially to teamwork.
Another example of using the FILA Chart to solve problems is when we were doing posters for project work. My group and I had to discuss about what we going to make, some of us borrowed books from the library for some background reading, so as the gain new ideas for our pre-made poster. Indeed after a day, we finished what we have to do and handed in the poster in time...

I had a good experience working with a non-member : my cousin. He showed me how to make a striking poster to capture attention. Unfortunately, he has went to China and would be there for 3 years. So I cannot take his picture or video. He was a good mentor.

Monday, August 13, 2007 - How and why our group should work together for PW. :

We should work together because it is essential in future. This is like a training to all students who are working together. This also help us to save time, time is very important as there must be a deadline for every project. Without working together, our relationship may never improve or even worse, ''deprove''. When we start to have a career, we may need to work together with people which we never knew. Hence, we should learn to work together. Jaryl said'' Two heads are better than one'' which means more people in a group, the better. ''There is no I in TEAM." said Kok Wee. This quote meant that a team is never only ''I'', or else it will never be called a team. Therefore, we should learn to work together.
