Description
In the beginning of this year, our very first project was to create a team banner. It took our team about 3 weeks to fully complete our banner. We did this project as a fun way to start of our first year as high schoolers! In this project, we learned measurements like the Metric and English system. We worked on this project in both physics and art class. In art, we learned about colors.
What I Learned
In this project, we learned how to handle safety tools. We learned about science, physics, and measurements. Like the metric prefixes:
M - Mega
k - kilo
h - hecto
dk - deka
mlg - meter, liter, gram (base units)
d - deci
c - centi
m - mili
µ - micro
n - nano
We also learned how to convert inches into centimeters and vice versa. We also learned the common English conversions:
M - Mega
k - kilo
h - hecto
dk - deka
mlg - meter, liter, gram (base units)
d - deci
c - centi
m - mili
µ - micro
n - nano
We also learned how to convert inches into centimeters and vice versa. We also learned the common English conversions:
- 12 inches = 1 foot
- 3 feet = 1 yard
- 1760 yd = 1 mile
- 5280 feet = 1 mile
- 2000 lbs = 1 ton
- 16 oz = 1 lb
- 12 items = 1 dozen
- Sound
- Optics
- Mechanics
- Thermodynamics
- Electromagnetism
- Forces
- Atomic and nuclear physics
- Cryogenics
- Quantum physics
- Particle physics
- Plasma physics
- Relativity
Reflection
In this project, I think a habit of heart and mind that I used the most was cooperation. I used cooperation in my group by splitting my group which was four people into 2 groups with two people. That way, it would be much easier to make our grid and got us done on time. Also, I think I used perseverance by coming after school to work on the banner to get a group's piece done. I am most proud of how the banner turned out overall because I think each group really tried to get their piece down and really put effort into it.
