- 1. NEED OR PROBLEM What can we do to stop cockroaches from coming into our cloak bays.
- 2. GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT PROBLEM We will be going around classes to see if they have any cockroach problems. we gave out notices to rooms 1,5,9,13
- 3. DEVELOP A PLAN We are going to build two ideas from the internet 3 ideas that we thought of our selfs to build.
- 4. DESIGN PROTOTYPE 1 We made a square box then we put carpet in it and we put a entry point witch was a pipe point that we put vaseline in so they could not get out and honey and peanut so that they would get stuck and some food would attract the cockroaches Honey and peanut butter
- 5. DESIGN PROTOTYPE 4 First we got some jam jars and put vaseline around the top of the jar so that they would slip and can’t get out and they would be attracted by some food. Food between bottom line.
- 6. DESIGN PROTOTYPE 5 First we got plastic bottles and cut them at the top and then put one teaspoon of sugar and a little bit of water to soften the tissue and we put the piece of bottle that I cut off on the top so that they would fall in the trap and we put a cylinder of black paper so the cockroaches like it dark. Tissue in water.
- 7. TEST AND EVALUATE • We tested prototype 1/2/3 for 3 days in room and it was alright but all of them did not work so we put them in the propogation shed and still haven’t got any cockroaches. • We also made prototype 4/5 and put them in the propogation shed for a week and a weekend and we caught 6 cockroaches in prototype 4 and none in the prototype 5.
- 8. DESGIN PROTOTYPE 2 Instead of just a putting honey on the bottom of the trap we put honey all overtop to bottom and the trap dripped so we put some thing there witch was some duck tape and some plastic and it worked. Duck tape Honey in between lines.
- 9. DESIGN PROTOTYPE 3 The peanut butter trap did not have nothing wrong with it. Peanut butter between lines
