⚖️ What stays the same
The same family and the same home
📊 Step 2 — Collect your data

🔍 Step 3 — Prediction vs observation
💡 The science behind it
Singapore has limited fresh water, so saving water matters. Every drop saved at the tap, in the shower and in the washing machine adds up — and recycled water (NEWater) helps too!
🏁 Conclusion
Share your three ideas with your family. Applying science to real life is what scientists do!
