The student enjoyed doing a tornado experiment the most because it resembled a real tornado. They learned that weather is controlled by natural forces and strong weather can cause natural disasters. For writing reports, the student found the water cycle report easiest while the air pressure one was most difficult. Overall, the student became better at using the scientific method and explaining ideas. They also felt research on tornadoes was easier the second time. The student was proud of writing a documentary by themselves and will speak more loudly in future speeches. They found the natural forces unit interesting and want to learn more about these topics.

1. Natural Forces Reflection
WildWeather Experiments:
My favorite weather experiment was the tornado experiment because
it was like a real life tornado, and I like tornadoes.Some of the
important things I learned about weather were thatweather is
controlled by natural forces and weather that is strong can become a
natural disaster.If I did more experiments, I would like to know
about how hailstones form.
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
the water cycle because I had already practiced once and I
understood it well.The hardest reportfor me to write is the air
pressure one because it was the first time that I had donescientific
writing.I am proud of my science report on static electricity and
length because I did those all by myself.
While writing these, I became better at using the scientific method
and explaining ideas.
Research:
The natural disaster I researched was tornadoes.
During my research, I found it easy to find information.
I found it difficult to organize where to put the information.I worked
especially hard at understanding prediction and detection.Compared
with my last research task, I found this task easier because I’ve
already done research once before so I’m better at it now.If I wrote
my speech again, I would try to put more details in it.
Delivering My Speech:
I am proud of my documentary because I wrote all the information by
myself.I worked especially hard at practicing my speech.Next time I
deliver a speech I will try to speak even more loudly.
What else?
During this natural forces unit I especially enjoyed doing the
experiments.After this unit, I will continue to learn about natural
forces because they are really interesting.
