My best project in term 1 science was my genetic mutation project, where we picked a genetic mutation and researched it and then put our work into the format we chose. I chose to put it into a Prezi and that Prezi then went through 2 peer evaluations and revisions and 2 teacher evaluations and revisions. I was quite strong at the research part but I wasn’t as strong at putting my research and knowledge into my presentation so that is what I need to work on for next time.
My strengths in science are gathering and understanding information myself, my weaknesses is demonstrating that I have this knowledge in the form of project or test. My goal for science is to have a project where I’m not only proud of what I learned, but also proud of how I presented it. Doing this project I increased my knowledge of not only this genetic mutation but all genetic mutations and developed my prezi skills. Here is my crown jewel for science. https://prezi.com/zeq4t84eki-j I think next time a big project comes up I will use a different way to present my work because I feel there are tools out there that I don’t utilize that would be useful to me.
This term I worked well in teams and felt like I took some charge and responsibility but I think I should take on more responsibility to be really successful. My organizational skills in science were lacking and that is another thing to work on is to be more organized. My participation in class is above average in my opinion, because I am always ready to jump into the discussion and contribute. My work on science this term was good, but with more hard work it will become even better.
