Final Blogpost :'(



Well unfortunately this will be my last blog post for this year. Our final project for physics was one of the most interesting and hands on projects that I have ever had. I extremely enjoyed this project and all that it came with. This project is exactly what this school needs, for it gives positive feedback and change to our ever occurring and evolving problems as the years go on. Especially since the students use the facilities and equipment most, it is logical that we are the ones to solve them to make life a little more easier, simpler or more convenient. I feel that many thinks went well for our group. From the start our group was given great ideas and advice for topics to support in our project. Every time we had an interview or meeting with a teacher we ended up with much more information than we expected to get. Although our hikes were not so fortunate in progress so we had to do what we could. Our original plan was to reach the origin of the stream in the back of the mountain, we soon realized this was impossible with the time we had. So our next goal was to clean out the dams and blockades that we encounter to lessen the constriction of water flow. Unfortunately we were unable to accomplish this for many of the blockades required high performance tools and a lot of man power to accomplish. I learned many things from this project, which included teamwork, organization, communication, and hard work. I learned a lot about the stream too, everything that happened whether bad or good, gave us information about the stream itself and we further learned about it. I feel that nothing for this project should be changed, for everything is pretty good. The only thing I felt that I was displeased with in the beginning was the decision of who our group members were; at first with no control I was very angry. But as time went on it was actually a good thing that happened. I felt like I was solving a physical problem around our school that helped the school, faculty and students. The science part hit me every so often, and I couldn’t believe that by doing this project I was incorporating all the aspects of physics that I had learned over the school year. Overall I really like this project and will greatly miss this class.
