How do I collect a urine sample in this?

I have to get DD (3.5) to give a urine sample. The GP surgery have given me the syringe(?) shown in the photo... what do I do with it?

The green end is a lid that screws off and has the boric acid powder inside. The other end is a syringe-like plunger. I can't see a way to use it to suck anything in though, because the green lid is sealed.

The yellow thing is basically a straw, but one end is a bit wider as if it attaches to something... but it doesn't fit on any of the bits of the syringe thing.

What do I do?! I was expecting a regular little pot! DD can't really pee on command, so I don't think I can get her to pee into anything other than her potty.

Never mind, I got it... didn't realise the green lid was in 2 parts, and I only needed to unscrew the smaller part.

Draw her wee up from the potty using the plunger.
