Scientific Method Cartoon Project Blog 9/6-9/11

Summary

The project we did this week is called the scientific method cartoon. In this project we had to draw and comic/cartoon that demonstrates the steps of the scientific method. Observation, question, hypothesis, gathering data, experimenting, analyzing data, the conclusion, and communicating. First we wrote a draft of our cartoon, then we drew the final copy. We also had to take a picture and turn it in digitally.

Backwards

In what ways do you think you need to improve?

I think that I could improve several ways. One way is to work more efficiently and faster. I had to bring the work home on the last day to finish it up. I had to skip my Martial Arts to finish all my work for the day. Another thing that I want to change is to ALWAYS go over all the requirements after I am finished. In this project I also forgot to add the draft to the final copy. I left my draft at home even though I was supposed to turn it in.

Inward

How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece or work?

I was very happy with my work. I particularly liked my drawings and how I took the time to draw and color my pictures neatly and nicely because the final draft turned out really nice. One thing I disliked was how I was working really slow until the last minute because in the end I had to rush to get things done resulting in me forgetting to bring my draft.My favorite thing about doing this project was that I got to be creative in my cartoon. For example, my question was are rainbows magic.

Outward

What grade would you give it? Why? 

If this was worth 10 points I would give it a 8/10. This is because I forgot to attach my draft to the back of my cartoon. The reason why I only docked off 2 points was because the draft is not as important as the final copy. I think that my final copy itself is very good and detailed. I also think that it follows all the requirements other than the draft.

Forward

What's one goal you would like to set for yourself for next time?
Next time I want to do my work quick and get everything done on time or with time to spare. This way I will have more time to go over my work and make adjustments so I can make sure it is good. I think this is a good goal because it assures that my project will be turned in on time. Also, I won't have to worry about staying up late working on my project after school.
