Body SystemsIn this project, we analyzed body systems and learned about them. In this project, I collaborated really well because I like my group mates. We should have been better prepared for our presentation for this project. I learned that it is a good habit to study before a presentation. In this project, I learned about work ethic because I should have had better study habits. Work ethic is the constant, energetic application to study or work with the intention of achieving excellence. I also learned about collaboration because I found out that being with your friends doesn't always work out because you can get distracted, but you can overcome it. Collaboration is the ability to respectfully work interdependently with people of diverse backgrounds, skill-levels, and abilities in order to synthesize ideas to create a quality shared product.

NutritionIn this project, we had to determine why two people who eat the same amount of calories and have different metabolisms will not be the same weight. In this project I did a good job with taking notes and learning beforehand. During this project, we had to show critical design thinking skills because we had to assess a realistic scenario. Critical design thinking is the application of content standard related learning to real world situations allows students to become creative problem solvers and flexible thinkers. We also had to show work ethic skills in this project because the class started to pick up the pace and we had less time to do the same amount of work. Work ethic is the constant, energetic application to study or work with the intention of achieving excellence.

Antibacterial Debate
In this project, we had a debate on whether or not to have hand sanitizer in every classroom at the school. I did well in the debate, more specifically in the conclusion, which was said to have "gone over people's heads". We did not prepare very well for the presentation as a group.
Environmental Impact of Renewable Energy
In this project, we created a voice over presentation about how a renewable energy source affected the environment. I learned a lot in this project because I worked and studied well. We didn't do the voice over as well as we could have and made some mistakes.
New Tech Blood Drive
In this project, we had to see why giving blood is important. We learned about mitosis and meiosis as well as blood types and alleles. I didn't have any struggles or major successes in this project. I did learn a lot about mitosis, however, and I liked the lab. During this project, we had to use critical thinking because we had to think about why giving blood is important. I also learned a lot in the content literacy category because I learned a lot of the science standards during this project.
Protein Synthesis
In this project, we learned about central dogma. Central dogma is the way that DNA is used to make proteins. I did well in learning the standards during this project. I excelled on the test and had fun in the lab. We had to use collaboration in this project during the lab because we had to work together to figure out the DNA and RNA strains. We also used critical thinking when we created the strains because we had to build them ourselves by hand.
