1. Natural Forces Reflection
WildWeather Experiments:
My favorite weather experiment was the electron experiment because it
was cool and scientific. I learned that if you rub balloon on your head it
will collect electonr, then if your hold it near a bulb, it will light
up.Some of the important things I learned about weather were that
when a tornado first begins, the windes spin horizontally.If I did more
experiments, I would like to know about why it floods and how floods
cause damage.
Scientific Report Writing:
I wrote scientific reports about air pressure, the water cycle, static
electricity and length. The easiest section for me to write is Aim
because it’s the most short and it’s just writing down what we want to
know.The hardest section for me to write is discussion because it’s very
long and we need to know scientific facts to write good explanations.I
am proud of my science report on static electricity because I learned
the scientific facts and wrote a gooddiscussion.While writing these
reports, I became better at writing using the scientific method.
Research:
The natural disaster I researched was the volcano.
During my research, I found it easy to find the information about what
causes volcanoes.I found it difficult to find information about
response,prediction and detection.I worked especially hard at finding out
about cause and impact.Compared with my last research task, I found
this task was easier because I had already tried to research by myself
before so it was easier for me to work.The best source of information
was uk.yahooanswers.com
If I wrote my speech again, I would try to write in a more entertaining
and more funny way for the audience.
Delivering My Speech:
I am proud of my documentary because I think it was the best and it
was almostperfact.I worked especially hard at making it half
entertaining and another half facts. Next time I deliver a speech I will
try to do more fun gimmick and experiments to keep the audience
interested.
What else?
During this natural forces unit I especially enjoyed performing in the
video.After this unit, I will continue to learn about natural forces by
reading books because I love science.
