Science has its ups and downs, to everyone. Some people like things like biology, some people hate it. It isn’t all completely subjective. For me though, I for one love space. I really like the idea of space, how small we are compared others everything, so we did a project on that.

Kyle and I decided to take on the topic of size and makeup of the universe. Instead of just maybe making a map, or a diagram we wanted to make something for people. We wanted them to see the sizes of the pWe scaled down the size of every planet so that you could see them, and so that the spacing would fit onto the field at Myrtle Park. These are the planets.

We were lucky enough to find some foam balls that perfectly fit our scale, but that was only some. The smallest ones like Pluto we had to make out of clay, and make them less than half a centimeter.

We obviously were not the only group, everyone had their own topic on everything from radioactivity all the way to the Big Bang, so I made a mind map showing how each topic is connected, no matter how thin the connection.

In the end I really liked this unit. Not only because I got to work with Kyle, and that always ends being a lot of fun, but because I liked what we did with the project, we did it differently. We made the math, the model, and the whole project from scratch. We didn’t look at a model and copy it, we scaled everything down until it fit, and then made them all, and finally presented it in a way that was interactive and outside.
