Our project and what is it was..

Our main type of renewable energy source was electric kinetic energy. We built a hydro dam, hydro dams convert the potential and kinetic energy of water to electrical energy, they do this by using a turbine and a generator. We also explored other renewable energy sources such as solar panels which use sunlight as source of energy and generates it into electricity.

Creative Thinking

We really tried to push our abilities and think about creative ways to go about this project. This was demonstrated when we built a basketball court to highlight the key differences between kinetic and potential energy.

1. How effectively did your group work?

Our group continued to work very well with each other. In class we would share our ideas and brainstorm a good plan. Outside of class we would make sure to stay in touch and continue communicating with each other. The only difficulty would be how all of us missed school on different occasions so it was hard to get back on the same page.

 2. Were the behaviors of any of your team members particularly valuable or detrimental to the team?

I think each person in our group had their own skills which is why we were a good a team. For example one person would be very creative with our layout, the other person would have a lot of knowledge about gaming and building, and someone else would help put our ideas together.

3. What did you learn about working in a group from this project that you will carry into your next group experience?

I think that communication is defiantly the most important part of working as a team. I will make sure to keep in mind to express my ideas and to listen to my group members thoroughly during a project.
