Welcome back to another post. This one is about our DI (Destination Imagination) presentation that we had to do. I’ll be telling you what went well, what we have to improve on and how I contributed to this project.

What went well:

If I was being honest, nothing went actually well. The proper were broken 30 minutes before preforming, not everyone memorized their lined (including me) because the script got changed a few nights before. This was also a problem for me because I need lots of time to get something memorized.

Improvement:

What our entire group can work on is communication 100%. I think most of the reason we were a mess is because not many people are good communicators and me too. Another thing we can work on is organization. If we want to do well, we need to be prepared. Being prepared is a part of organization and organization comes with communicating with people in the group. Personally, I cant text. I cant say what I want to in a few sentences. On the other hand, I looooove calling. I stay in calls for hours and it’s just so much easier to talk to someone and hear their voice. I think if we had communicated more we would lose a whole bunch of stress.

How I contributed:

I didn’t do a whole lot of the building. Im not really good with that stuff. There’s always one or two people who take over and do a lot of the project. We had that in our group. A couple of us learned how to use an electric saw, screwdrivers.

People in my group:

Julia, Robin, Evelyn, Ian and Sam

Thanks for reading another one of my posts! Have a great rest of your day.

Aghhhh so many posts this week! Today it’s for Science.

Driving question: How can we communicate our knowledge of atoms in a fun and creative way?

Observations:

Before we started anything important, we had to learn what atoms are and how they react to each other. We did this by talking (really hard to focus) but mostly mixing baking soda, water 💧, a weird liquid that couldn’t go down the sink (iodine), flour (aka mystery substance), corn starch, salt 🧂 and sugar. This was really fun because I looooove making potions. I used to do that growing up with almost anything that could mix together. We would also do activities that made you determine the mass of an object.

Video game:

After all that observing, we got to make a game!! The website was super sketchy. I’d rate it a 5/10 ⭐️. Stuff wouldn’t save and it kept on making me sign in (I dont know my password) but I had to work with it. I watched a tutorial  that guided me through the whole process. Without it id be no where. The lady was a little bit annoying but that’s fine. I made a game where you jump over an object that comes at you. The objects that I used were a snowflake ❄️ and fire 🔥.

Answering the driving question:

We can communicate our knowledge through a video game! How I did it was using a snowflake and fire. When the solid touches the heat, it turns into a liquid. Im glad Ms Kadi chose this because over all, it was a fun experience over all!
