Water Cycle Comic

Reflection:

In order to complete this project, I mostly used creative thinking. I was able to create this comic building on the ideas that were inspired during a discussion with my friends. As well as exploring the material that was given to me. In the meantime, I was able to add my own unique thoughts while constructing.

This was a very fun and relaxing assignment for me because I am very passionate about art, which made everything easier for me. Even though I enjoyed it, I had a hard beginning on what I should do. So, I left it aside for a while and did some other artworks. I took my time to construct my plan in my head. Once I got started, everything went fairly well with new ideas popping in my head constantly. I also met some other difficulties along the way but I was able to solve them by reading through the materials that were given to me.

I really enjoy this assignment. To be able to perform the knowledge that I learned with skills that I am very passionate about is one of the best things in the world!

Personal Response

Personal Response (Genetic engineering)

During the past few years, genetic engineering has been the main focus in the field of science. Though I was not very interested in genetic engineering I still heard many things about it. It is fascinating what could be done with this technology. After learning about genetic engineering in class, I understand it better now. Though I am very much impressed with the advanced technology, I am in the main time very concerned and worried. I think it is very difficult to control in what purpose these technologies will be used by people. To think forward, how could we even control the use of this technology in the system? I think its also great risks to take. Would we be able to afford to take on the risks that the experiment might not work? When there could also be a long term effect that couldn’t be detected in a short time?

The area that I am most interested in is the Genetic Modified Organism (GMO). Where its basically snip a part of the gene from one organism and then plant in the gene of another organism. I learned many things about GMO after watching the video What is Genetic Modified food ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMPE5wlB3Zk) I learned that GMO food is actually no different than the naturally grown food. I think GMO a great use of genetic engineering technology. I think the concept its self is very interesting. We were able to change how things are so easily and fast. I do look forward to the future of the GMO. I am also very concerned about how we are going to maintain the balance in nature. I think making vegetation resistant to incest’s would be benefits for human beings but not insects. I think it is selfish under some circumstances. Breaking the living environment of organisms for the needs of our selves.

Current Lab- Sway

Reflection:

“How does the number of lightbulbs affect the current in series and parallel circuit?”

For this lab, we built series and parallel circuits with batteries, wires, ammeter and light bulbs. We experiment on how does the brightness and current differs in series and parallel circuit changes only changing the number of bulbs.

During this lab, I used communication and critical thinkings. I used communication when discussing with my team on how to construct our circuits and our conclusion at the end. We communicated to decide everyone’s roles while doing the sway. Critical thinking took an important part during this assignment. When we are planning procedures and brainstorming elements of the lab. Also when constructing circuits and recording our data after the lab. Especially when we are making the sway.
