Final Reflection of Rocketry

I really enjoyed this unit and this is my favorite unit I have ever done. I really liked it because I think it was an interesting topic. I also liked the process that we had throughout the unit.

Specifically the building process. I have always liked building stuff that I was interested in. This was one of them. I liked how we had to make decisions about how to make the rocket. It created a more creative environment to work in. I liked making decisions like what to make the fins out of, how many to make, a thick or skinny body, how big the body and nose cone should be, how much tape to put on the nose cone, and much more. I also liked thinking through how are decisions would benefit us and the process of thinking through it.

I also liked how there were teams so you could experience teamwork and it could be more fun. I liked how you worked together to do everything. I also really like how you chose your jobs during the launch. I thought it was really fun to launch the rocket and record the data to make improvements. I liked experiencing the actual launch itself.

I thought this unit was really fun overall and that it gave me a deep understanding of rockets. This was my favorite unit I have ever done and I really hope to do a unit like this again.

I think rocketry has been okay so far, but I think it will be pretty fun when we get to building and launching the rocket. I have experienced making an inspiration board so far and so far it is my least favorite part. Printing out pictures and ideas that inspire us, gluing it setting it up. That’s not really my thing. But building is.

In our first rocket design as a group, I really liked the designed we came up with including three fins instead of four, making the body thin, and making the nose cone sturdy and not to slim. I think that our rocket will be very successful although I think we will make adjustments.

I have learned how a rocket can be successful. Some examples are, the body should be pretty skinny but sturdy, we should have a pretty acute angle fins, The nose cone should be sturdy and slim, and much more. Overall I really am looking forward to building the rocket and launching it.

Identity Bags and Maps Reflection

I thought the identity bags were a good experience. I learned many things about my classmates but nothing about my self. I learned who liked to cook, to bake, to do arts and crafts, and much more. I already knew that I loved basketball and the ravens e.t.c. But what I did not is that a group of people liked to bake or cook. I didn’t know that a group of people liked arts and crafts. I think this was a really great experience because when you know more about people you can bond with them.

In the identity maps I got to be creative with drawing and show people stuff about myself so I thought it was a good experience too. By looking at others maps I learned more things about them that they couldn’t represent from the identity bags. Overall I really liked this project and learned a lot from it.

We have learned so much from this book and it has sort of become our main source of the american revolution. I like this book because it gives you a lot of detailed information and creates a great true story of the american revolution. I understand pretty much everything in the book so I don’t have any questions about it. I like thinking of the great story this book supplies because it is true, great, and much more. This book has taught me so much of the american revolution and I still have a lot more to go. I’m only in 1777 of the american revolution. This book has been great and I think it will continue to be.

Colony Poster and colony building Reflection

Are colony poster experience was fun because we got to express our colony in a poster with our own creativity. My poster connects to my colony by expressing the great farmland of the are as my colony is in the southern areas. When we got to build the colony it taught me teamwork and it was fun seeing our very own colony coming together. All of this has taught me a lot about american history and life skills.

Teatown Reflection

I liked doing the experiments because I thought it was fun to learn how to do it and also I liked having the chance to do it. Two things that I learned about how land and water are connected are that roots can prevent water from flooding because it keeps the dirt together so it can obsorb the water and it can obsorb water too. If oil mixes with water swamps can obsorb the toxic chemicals in it and can filter it. I recommend for Teatown to add a animal activity to discover and talk abouthow animals live in certain types of water and their adaptations.
