Communication + Critical and Creative Thinking + Personal and Social
In physics this semester, we created a Minecraft world showing different aspects of both kinetic and potential energy as well as how they can be transformed, transferred, used and where.
Communication
During the course of this assignment I was able to communicate alongside my group numbers in order to produce a project where we were all happy with the results. Our group was able to include everybody’s individual perspective and ideas in order to create a project that we could all contribute into. If something wasn’t working out it wasn’t difficult to communicate with my group members and figure out how we can fix whatever issue occurred. My group is really good at providing different ideas figuring out how we got them into our project we were also able to further our learning and get things done while expressing our individual ideas into the group.
Critical and Creative Thinking
For my group we ended up choosing a volcano to represent geothermal energy in order to power our world. After deciding what we wanted to create we used our critical and creative thinking skills to generate ideas that can meet all of the requirements as well as adding creativity to our project at the same time. I think it helps having a group to generate ideas with because you have more than one mind working on the same thing. Working with a group can also be helpful in trying to bounce ideas off of each other, and because of that we were able to meet all of the criteria that was assigned, and develop ideas individually and all together as well.
Personal and Social
My group and I each individually had our strengths and weaknesses. However despite having different strengths and weaknesses we were able to come together and produce a project that we were all happy with. We were able to get this done to the best of all our capabilities, despite us all having strengths and weaknesses in different areas. There were definitely some struggles but we had managed to get over the struggles together and put in hard work to get tasks done on time and create something that we were happy with.
