1. Natural Forces Reflection By Diana
WildWeather Experiments:
My favorite weather experiment was lightning because it was very
interesting to learn about lightning and I didn’t know about static electricity
and other things!Some of the important things I learned about weather
were that the weather controls the earth and it also controls people.If I
did more experiments, I would like to know about tsunamis because my
chosen theme was wildfire but I want to know other phenomena such as
tornadoes or tsunamis and earthquakes.
Scientific Report Writing:
I wrote scientific reports about air pressure, the water cycle, static
electricity and length. The easiest reportfor me to write was about air
pressure because air pressure’s science experiment was very easy to
understand and it was also very fun. The hardest reportfor me to write was
the cloud experiment because I kind of didn’t understand the experiment. I
didn’t understand how clouds form, but it was also fun to do the cloud
experiment.I am proud of my science report on clouds because even I didn’t
understand the experiment, I did a fine job of organizing the method.While
writing these reports, I became better at using scientificvocabulary.
Research:
The natural disaster I researched was Wildfires.
During my research, I found it easy to search the information. I think it’s
because this research is the 2nd research. (1st: Ancient Civilization
research).I found it difficult to connect the information and make it into
full sentences, but my partner helped me to connect our notes.I worked
especially hard at connecting those sentences while writing the speech. It
was quite fun to write the speech.Compared with my last research task, I
found this task easier because I think this is the 2nd one and we already
know how to write paragraphs and research.The best sections of
information was when I explained ‘the wildfire is mostly caused by the
cigarette’ and ‘how to remove the fuel.’If I wrote my speech again, I would
try to write the speech in a much more interesting was because I thought
our speech was not very entertaining.
Delivering My Speech:
I am proud of my documentary because with only computers and books, we
made it into a speech and we recorded it.I worked especially hard at
correcting grammar and using sensible sentences.Next time I deliver a
speech I will try to make it entertaining.
What else?
During this natural forces unit I especially enjoyed recording the video. It
gave me a new feel and now I feel very proud of myself.
After this unit, I will continue to research natural disasters because they
are very interesting.
