Adolescence Infographic ProjectIn this project we were tasked with making an infographic about the adolescent brain. First we had to choose a topic that we could research. Then we had to gather evidence that backups our claim that we are presenting on. Next up we needed to add all the information we found online onto a vengage template. Lastly we had others give us feedback on the infographic so we could make the better.
Personal Reflection
In this project the biggest challenge was that I had to stay on topic and keep doing my work. I kept getting distracted while researching for this project and would research completely random things. Another problem I had was I just stared at the page and did nothing because I could not think. My biggest success during this project was getting the project done by the deadline. I struggled with getting it done on time because I procrastinated a lot during the project. Also I struggled with it because I didn't like the project too much. If I could do this project again first I would choose a different topic to do. Next I would add a pie chart or a bar graph to it. Finally I would come up with a better title because I think it does not represent my info the best way. |
Climate Change Project
Project Reflection
In this project we were tasked with demonstrating our understanding of climate change through a creative project of our choosing. First we brainstormed ideas and grouped up with others based on what project we wanted to do. Next we made a planned out timeline of what we needed to accomplish. Finally we started work and revised until we had a good project.

What is climate change and how is it different from global warming?
Climate change is the long term changes happening around the globe based on the heating and cooling overall. While global warming is just the overall heating of the globe overtime and is a natural process. Examples of this would be that millions of years ago there was an ice age so the earth had to naturally heat up aka global warming. There is a distinction between the changing of the climate and the overall climate warming.
Why should we care about climate change, now, when it's been happening naturally since the Earth began?
Climate change has been happening for millions and millions of years naturally but we should still care about how it is changing now because it's changing too fast for animals to evolve. The sped up rate of climate change needs to be looked at as a problem to solve. In the past rapid changes in ecosystems have made many animals extinct because they could not change with their environment fast enough. This is why we need to keep a close eye on climate change.
How does your project demonstrate your understanding of climate change?
My project demonstrates my understanding of climate change by comparing different energy sources to see which one has the least amount of effects on climate. In my project I compare many different energy sources to nuclear to show why nuclear energy is the best source of energy we have. My hope with this project was to show people that nuclear energy is actually good for the environment.
What was your largest area of growth during this project?
My largest area of growth in this project was my time management. In my previous projects I have slacked off until the last minute and my final product suffers as a result. In this project I put in a lot of effort early on so I could work on refining it later on and in turn the final product would be better and more refined.
What was your greatest strength during this project?
My greatest strength during this project was saying focused on my work and keeping my group mates focused. While doing this project I had to remind my group mates to stay on task quite a bit but in the end it helped greatly. If Stephen or Antonio didn't know what to do we grouped up and created a game plan for that day. This planning in the end helped us get done early so we could work on revisions and relax.
