Capstone Part 2: Interview

For my interview, I interviewed Abby Powell. She is a professor at the University Of Florida. She studies all about birds. I was nervous to interview her, but it wasn’t bad at all. It was fun, I got all my questions answered, with lots and lots of facts. I didn’t expect to learn so much from the interview. I definitely recommend interviewing for research. It helps way more than I expected. I thought I would get a little bit of notes, but I got heaps of information. Overall, I’d say interviewing was one of the many great parts of this Capstone project, and I would love to interview somebody else for future research projects.

 

Capstone Part 1

My topic for capstone is bird adaptations and migration. My main inquiry question is, “How have birds adapted over time to survive during the winter?” The thing that was most helpful in choosing my main inquiry question was over viewing my curriculum wheel. Without it, I wouldn’t have been as prepared to make my main inquiry question. One thing that was challenging was narrowing my subject down way smaller. At first my subject was just animal adaptations, but then I had to turn it into all about bird adaptations, and the way they migrate. What I have learned about myself as a learner is that I am very dedicated to my subjects and work really hard to make the best of what I have got.
