1. Natural Forces Reflection
WildWeather Experiments:
My favorite weather experiment was the tornado experiment because it
looked realistic and it was the easiest one to understand so I learned a
lot.Some of the important things I learned about weather were that if you
were in a tornado, you would need to stay in your house and don’t pick up
the phone or other applicances or else the electricity will go through the
electricity line and burn you.If I did more experiments, I would like to
know more about volcanoes and know how the volcano explodes and spits lava
out of the vent.
Scientific Report Writing:
I wrote scientific reports about air pressure, the water cycle, static
electricity and length. The easiest reportfor me to write was the static
electricity one because I learned about it at school and had a homework
sheet for it so I understood a lot. The hardest reportfor me to write was
the water cycle one because it was the first report I ever wrote and there
it had a lot of hard words in it so it was very difficult for me.I am proud
of my science report on length because it had to use graphs and difficult
things on the computer but I tried my best. Also I wasn’t here on the day
other people finished it but I tried my best to finish the results. While
writing these reports, I became better at writing scientific reports because
I wrote 4 reports by myself so I got way better at writing and, this was
my first time writing a report following this method.
Research:
The natural disaster I researched was tsunamis.
During my research, I found it easy to take my video because the moment
before the video I was very nervous but when I was about to start the
video, I wasn’t so nervous. I don’t know why.I found it difficult to get
research because I didn’t know how much information I needed to make a
speech so I thought it is better to have more information then having less
information so, I just researched a lot.I worked especially hard at
memorizing my speech because if I didn’t memorize my speech I would do a
bad job of eye contactso I tried my best to remember my speech.
Compared with my last research task, I found this task easier because last
time for the story telling unit, I had to go to imovie and do lots of cutting
and putting things perfectly for the movie but this time, I just took 1 day
to make the documentary.
The best source of information was the book called Tsunamis because, it
had a lot of information about cause, impact, predict and detect so our
group used it a lot.If I wrote my speech again, I would try to make my
speech more detailed and have interesting words in it so the audience will
be engaged.

2. Delivering My Speech:
I am proud of my documentary because my group worked very hard on it
and focused and had fun making the documentary.I worked especially hard
at communicating and cooperating in our group to make a very good
movie.Next time I deliver a speech I will try to put some more actions in it
to make it funny or put a gimmick to explain the topic in a more specific
way so the audience learned something.
What else?
During this natural forces unit I especially enjoyed my movie because we
worked very hard and the movie kind of released all our knowledge and
energy.After this unit, I will continue to write scientific reports because
when I grow up I think I will use this writing skill.
