In my Science class, my teacher assigned us a project the site c dam. The site C dam is a dam that is being build to produce enough clean, renewable, efficient, and inexpensive energy for the next 100 years. We had to complete a worksheet that was on a word document and it was something new but I was able to figure it out easily. We had to research about the site c dam and make an ethical judgement (critical thinking) on if they should build it or not. We had to think about all the expenses and the the time they have already spent on this dam and figure out if it is better for them to continue building it, or just don’t finish the rest (creative thinking). Some people are not happy with building the dam and it is important for the government respect their opinion and try to convince them that this dam can be very useful.I learned to appreciate everyone’s perspective because this might not effect my life a lot but the people who live close to the dam this might change their life (social responsibility, personal awareness and responsibility).
This project was really fun because I had to find the pill bugs my self before doing the experiment. I was able to find few pill bugs near my house under a tree. I learned new ways to make graphs and tables with an software on mac. I learned new things about these awesome creatures and after this I started paying more attention to other small creatures in the nature. Finding the pill bugs took me some time but I had lots of fun. At first I couldn’t find any pill bugs because i wasn’t sure how big they were but when I looked real close I found them and they were really small. My partner and I came up with the best idea we could think of and decided to see if they prefer the really wet side or the really dry side. We worked as a group and collected data and came up with a conclusion.
