Quarter 3

The activity was a science fair project were we had to be in a group of two or three people and think about a reasonable, testable and interesting topic to do. My partner was Abraheem El-dahouk and our topic that we thought was very interesting was called rusty nails were we got five nails that were the same type and we put them in a bowl and pored half a cup of each liquid and every other liquid was different. Then we put each bowl outside for exactly three days and waited to see which one rusted the most. The liquids that we used were: coke, oil, water, vinegar, and orange juice.

I think the purpose of the science fair project is to become better at working with partners discovering something new you don’t know and at the same time having fun telling other people what you learned and how you did the whole thing. I think it was also a great experience for those who don’t know hot to work well with others.

I learnt a lot of things while doing this science fair project I think some of them were becoming better at working with a partner, being patient, not leaving anything to the last minute in fact we were very good at that because we finished the science fair project almost like 1 month before it was due.

I think we could have done better by following more instructions and making are display board like a book and more attractive and appealing to the eye.

This activity does not relate to my goal this year because my goal for this year is for all four quarters in math not to get lower than a c-.

Quarter 2

Quarter 2 science reflection

This is my science reflection for quarter two. My science reflection for quarter two is going to be about the comparison between my mid-summative exam two which was one of the exams we took in the beginning of the year and compare it by my mid-summative exam five which I took recently in quarter two. There is a big improvement shown even though I could have done better in my mid-summative exam five. In my mid-summative exam two I got 9.5 out of 18 and for my mid-summative exam five I got 11.5 out of 15.

After seeing the big deference from my exam two and my exam five I learned a lot of stuff like: I should always pay attention in class, ask more questions if I have to, always take my time to study not wait till the last minute and study, and not to panic a lot while doing my test because when I do I rush and don’t think before I answer.

The purpose of this reflection is to see how better I became from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year. Like how I improved my studying and see what I need to work on better and should I study in a different way or stay the same way will maybe if I do change the way of my studying I can better grades. So the main purpose of this reflection is to see how much I improved on my studying.

Some things I could have done better or differently are : studying more, not waiting till the last minute to study, not panicking when I’am doing the test, and something I could do differently is like maybe try a different way os studying .

This comparison does not really relate to my goal this year because my goal this year is about math which is not getting lower than a (c-) in all the four quarters for math and I have this goal because I have always had trouble with math and always want to improve my math grade.
