Holiday Activities

Activity 1: Making Mud balls

One of the projects were to make mud balls with the purpose of using it as a cleaning agent for the monsoon drain behind our school. Mud balls are effective cleaning agents because it sinks to the bottom of the drain and the active microorganisms are not washed away. These mud balls generally contains clay soil, brown sugar and rice bran. The brown sugar serves as a food source for the active microorganisms. 

Activity 2: Making self Watering Plants

The other activity was to make a self watering plant, with reference to its name, this plant can live sustainably for two weeks without being watered. As long as it is placed in a bright room, with sunlight, it can survive by itself. Students learnt how to make this unique designed plant by creating an effective pot for it to grow in. The pot is made out of a 1 litre plastic bottle and a straw, with a few snips here and there, the self watering devise is completed.
