Factory Visit
Attending the briefing from the mangement.
Holidays will be the most excited time for our QQ children as we have planned out many activities that can increase their knowledge and gain valuable experiences which they will not get it by just reading! This year, we went to Teck Aun Medical Factory and Penang Butterfly farm as our annual field trip.
Children were really excited when we arrived at the factory. The person in charged has shown us the laboratory that they use to test the medicine so that the quality was controlled. Our children have chance to look through the microscope and also the bacteria they grow on the patri dish. We also seen how they carried the drop test for the pill. Then, we were brought to the packing area, where the pill were fill in to the plastic tube. It was all done automatically. The machine will form, fill and seal the bag. Finally the pill were put in to the box manually. The medicine is for stomachache, minor diarrhoea, minor vomiting etc. Before we left, the management has given each of us a pack of the pill as souvenir.

All children were gathered in the lobby on that day to see the process of making the enzyme. Some are also involved in stirring the mixture. We have to keep the mixture for 3 months to produce the enzyme. So, we have to wait until 18.8.09 !
On 19.5.09, we have prepared 30kg of fruits skin, 10kg of brown sugar and 100 liter of water to make the enzyme. This is one of our project to save the earth. As we all know, the fruits skin are waste and if we just throw away, it was rubbish. By using them to make enzyme, we can reduce the waste and at the same time the end product-enzyme can be used as dish cleaner, natural insecticide, neutralize the pesticide in the vegetable by soaking the in the enzyme solution for 45 minutes.
Hence, our teachers has collected the fruits skin such as pineapple skin, orange skin and lemon skin to make the enzyme. The correct proportion is :
Fruits skin 1
Brown sugar 3
Water 10
