Water Cycle Comic

 

Reflection:

Using creative thinking was essential for this project since I had to turn a scientific water cycle to a children book. To make the comic make sense, I needed to think and imagine the journey of a little water molecule first. I chose to start it at the top of the mountain, which I needed to draw an extra step describing the little water molecule melting. I couldn’t use many scientific words, so I tried to use the simplest language to discuss the water cycle. I loved creative writing so I added some interesting parts, therefore, it wouldn’t be awkward when I shift from one stage to another stage. For example, my little water molecules expected to make more friends. During the process, I also had to learn how to continue correcting and working on my ideas when my thoughts couldn’t be proved scientifically. I enjoyed drawing this comic because I like making something joyfully and playful in my life.

 

I want to improve:

My comic wasn’t that colourful, so I wish I can remember to add more colours next time. More colours also can attract people’s interests. And I expect I can make the process of the water cycle more clear since only one word was not enough for explaining.

C.C reflection: Communication:

I am able to discuss the question with my group mates and lead the conversations. We split up the work so everyone has a focus in this project. We had conflicting opinions during the preparing, but we were able to solve them and find a way to compromise. I was glad that we had many ideas to develop the whole plan. My group mates used time effectively during class time. We sometimes talked online about the project after school in order to have a better understanding of the experiment.
