Bedroom Redesign: Feng Shui and Automation

1. Creating a Driving Question

My driving question is: How can I design my bedroom to be more sustainable usingautomationand logic?

We want to explore how technology can make my bedroom more environmentally friendly. For example,Icould use automatic lights that turn off when nobody is in the room to save electricity.

2. Bedroom Layout (Before)

My bedroom has a bed, a desk, a chair, and a closet. I measured my room and furniture to make my floor plan.

3. Bedroom Layout (After)

I moved my bed so it is diagonal from the door. This is a Feng Shui idea that helps me see the door and feel safe. I also made more space to walk around.

4. My Automation: Smart Alarm Clock

My smart alarm clock helps me wake up on time. It checks the time and rings at 7:00.

Logic Diagram:

Start → Check the time → Is it 7:00?

1.Yes: Ring the alarm → Am I awake?

2.Yes → Stop the alarm.

3.No → Keep ringing.

4.No: Check the time again.

5. Science and Art

Science is used in my smart alarm clock. It checks the time and rings when it is time to wake up.

Art is used in my Feng Shui design. I moved my bed and made more space so my room feels comfortable and neat.

6. What Worked Well?

My floor plan has measurements, and I used a scale of 1:50. My alarm clock diagram shows how the alarm works. I also used Feng Shui to choose where to put my bed.

7. What Could I Improve?

I could add the scale to my after floor plan. I could also add a “No” arrow to show what happens when it is not 7:00. Next time, I will explain my design choices more clearly.

Conclusion

I learned that science and art can work together. Feng Shui helps me plan my room, and automation makes my life easier. My new design can make my bedroom more comfortable and useful.

Unit 2: Classroom Redesign

Our Driving Question: How can we make our classroom bigger and more comfortable using automation?

1. Material Change

We changed the chair material from plastic to a soft, padded seat. The old plastic chairs were uncomfortable to sit on for a long time. The new chairs would be softer and more comfortable.

2. Automation Logic

We can use smart machines to help our classroom.

When someone enters, the lights turn on.
When everyone leaves, the lights turn off.
If the room gets too hot, a fan turns on.

Automation makes our classroom easier to use and helps save energy.

3. What Could I Improve?

I could make more space between the desks. I could also choose better chairs and add more smart machines. I want everyone to feel happy and comfortable in our classroom.

4. Collaboration and Feedback

My group shared ideas and worked together. We listened to each other and tried to make our classroom better. Our classmates and teacher can give us ideas to improve our design.

5. My Growth from Unit 1 to Unit 2

I learned how to share ideas and solve problems. I also learned that teamwork is important. I am getting better at planning and designing things.

6. How Does This Connect to Other Classes?

Science: We learned how lights and sensors work.

Math: We measured the room and planned where to put the desks.

7. SDG Connections

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

We use automation to make our classroom better.

SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

We make our classroom cleaner and more comfortable.

1. Classroom Floor plan (Before)

Our classroom had desks and chairs that took up a lot of space. It was hard to walk around in some places. I wanted to make our classroom better.

2. Classroom Floor plan (After)

I move the desks and chairs to make more space. We made the walking paths bigger and easier to use. Our classroom looks cleaner and feels more comfortable.
