Communication

Using the knowledge that I learned in Physics Unit, I was able to express my communication skills by sharing my ideas to my teammates that I thought was going to be helpful in creating the project. We first discussed what kinds of building or machines that we could do in a certain period of time. We manage to come to the conclusion that we should build a factory which transfers the power through the electrical wires that will power the entire village. Working together with my team has taught me to be more attentive in group discussions as well as give proper and appropriate feedbacks. It also taught me more about what it means to work with others, like being open to new ideas and being responsible as part of the team. I do my share of the project and and encourages my team to voice out their constructive criticisms and find ways to an agreeable solution. We were able to come up with strategies that was put to work the very next day about how to transfer and transform the energy of the Hydro Dam, which was or main source of power.

Personal/Social

I am proud of my accomplishments in everything that I do, including this project. My group worked hard and and put so much time and effort into building the Dam, the factory, and other things that we felt was needed. I was able to point out issues or minor problems about the project and make sure that I let my group know so that we could come up with a solution to fix it. There were times where I felt stressed out over the project due to not having the same free time as my teammates, but we manage to devise something to get past it. I enjoyed working with my teammates because we supported each other throughout the entire process of the project. I demonstrated a respectful, and inclusive behavior by always being on time on the agreed schedule.

Thinking

I was able to formulate ideas that were helpful to the group as well as build on the ideas of my group mates. New ideas comes into my head when a certain topic really interests me. We used a cauldron that was filled with lava and put something that could act as a stove which then represents Radiant Energy. I suggested a similar idea into how we were going to represent open and close system which worked out well because they also put their own creative ideas into making it. We used a jukebox to represent Sound Energy and crossbows that were placed inside a chest which represent Elastic Potential Energy. We also built a tv that is connected to the wires that represents Electrical Kinetic Energy. Listening to my teammates’ ideas was very informative. I learnt a few things from them and am very glad to have worked with them.
