Table of Elements Assignment

For this science project, I decided to do a table of classic books. We had to pick a topic that we could organize to further understand the periodic table of elements. To organize mine, I took the genre first and grouped the books that way. I also tried to use the word count of the books, and it matched up pretty well with the genres. I then took year of publishing and had the newest books of each genre closest to the center of the poster.

Science Reflection

In my science class this year, we have done many labs, projects, and worksheets. We have already studied an array of topics from Chemistry to DNA to Reproduction. I feel the quality of my work has fluctuated throughout the school year, depending on the time of year and the subject. I think my work has recently gotten better than it was at the beginning of the year. I would like to show you a project below I did for science earlier in the year.

I realize, looking back on this video, that it is not as good as I once thought it was. This video, which is on the genetic mutation Maple Syrup Urine Disease, has awkward wording, mumbling, and more. This doesn’t stop the fact that I am still proud of this video. The way I did this project shows my way of thinking. I evolved this project many times, from a skimpy script all the way to an explain everything to a video. I so feel that I have learned how to evolve my work well and forward, and the process of this assignment helped me with that. My one regret is putting the video together so quickly. I should have paced it so I could make improvements on the video, and not just the information.

Another instance of me not spacing out my work is my Cancer Project. I didn’t allow enough time for me to review and edit my final product, resulting in an end product that wasn’t to the best of my abilities. The writing in the project was lacking, and there were no pictures or voice over affects. Below is the Keynote I handed in for my final draft.

In the future I hope not to have something like that happen again. To make sure of that, I am working my hardest to make sure my work is done slowly and in advance. I realize that to do this, I need to take my time on my work.
