Unit 7 Reflection

      This unit the main focus was ecology and conservation biology. We learned what happens in environments, how it happens and how it affects us humans as a spices. Another main part of this unit was about saving the environment and the problems we caused to the environment.

       This unit I mainly wanted to learn how to save the environment and what we could do to help. One unanswered question I have is that how can I make a big difference to help the environment. And I wonder if i will make a big difference to the environment.
       In this unit we took part in a project where our table groups make a presentation on an endangered environment like the Great Barrier Reef which is what my group did. And I learned, from that project, that many, many environments that we depend on are in tremendous danger due to human actions.
       In our project we never had any trouble with getting people to do something or any anger management problems. We all collaborated well with each other and did everything well and on time. Some time ago, we  took a  personality teat on being assertive, passive, passive aggressive, or aggressive. The highest score I got was assertive. When it came to a conflict we would all listen to each others ideas and decided on which one would be the best.

What Could Aliens Look Like?

      In my class I am doing a project called 20 Time. The goal of this project is to give students freedom to research what they are interested in. The "20" in 20 Time means that 20% of a class period is dedicated for that research. 
     For my project My partner and I asked the question, "what could aliens look like on other planets." We have chose to dedicate our time reassuring different planets that have similar elements of earth and decide what are the optimal physical characteristics these aliens could have. We chose this because we both have a deep fascination about extra tries rial life. Our goals are to find and explain a simple representation of the alien we have created. We will measure our progress through these blogger posts. Our plan is to find planets that have the potential to harbor life.
