Post Science Mini-Capstone

My most intriguing project was a recent project of mine, my SFP. I test rocket candy which is rocket fuel, I thought it was my best project this year. It's something that I am will to spend a lot of time with. 

Inquiry: I wanted to know which rocket candy burned the longest. 

Research:  I gather this info by making four solid rocket candies and lighting them on fire to see which one would burn the longest. 

Collaboration: I had a lot of helpers help me in the lab, preparing and helping me light the rocket candy. Also during the science fair, lots of scientist and teachers crowded around me and were very engage in what I was doing. 

Presentation: The design of my slide show was very creative and nice, and the fact that I had a video engaged the audience.  

Reflection: For my project, I would measure the heat of the flame and the intensity of the flame.

Here is my slideshow.

Probably my most intriguing project for sophomore year of Bio-Chemistry has to be my SFP (you know me) project. 
INQUIRY: What I wanted to know was the rate of evaporation by doing the melting process on candy.

RESEARCH: I gather my information by researching what evaporation is and how it keeps you body cool.

COLLABORATION: I was part of my community by asking my fellow peers to taste the candy after the experiment to see if the candy was still cool.

PRESENTATION: The only thing that was effective if I knew what I was saying and did not stuttered. My presentation was great and I was given an achievement award for having one of the best SFP projects. 

REFLECTION: The only thing I would do differently would be still do the same trials, but do at least nine trials because every three trials use a different type of light bulb.

Inquiry- I wanted to know how long it would take for filter paper dipped in catalase to rise to the surface of hydrogen peroxide.
Research- i just put the slides in the order they are suppose to be in.
Collaboration- I don't know.
Presentation- I just winged it.
Reflection- I would Explain a little more.

​Reflection: Q2 Aspirin Lab

Core Values: 
Inquiry: I wanted to know if I could synthesize a common drug in a high school laboratory.
Research: I gathered info by checking temperature and toxicity every step of the way.
Collaboration: Given that I was the one in the group who did most of the work, I learned what it's like to be the only one invested in a project. Then again, I already knew.
Presentation: The smoke spectacle was a rather interesting presentation of my project to the class.
Reflection: I would plan out more and prepare better

Biochem 2014 - Mini Capstone

The project I chose to reflect on was genetic illnesses from the first quarter, when we studied Glaucoma. 

Inquiry - I wanted to know some disease of the eye. We chose to study Glaucoma


Research -  we had a classmate in our group that actually has glaucoma, so we got most of the information from her.


Collaboration - We assigned to each member of our group what exactly we had to research, and then we put it all together in our final presentation.


Presentation - We took turns explaining each slide, with our classmate explaining exactly what glaucoma is and her experience. 


Reflection - I would probably go to one of my doctors and ask for more information to make the research more primary rather than finding the information online.

Energy in Nuts Project

Inquiry: During this particular project, I wanted to figure out if nuts were as healthy as projected on packaging and on the article

Research: I looked up caloric content of the nuts. Also, I experimented by burning the nuts and adding kilocalorie for each degree.

Collaboration: I collaborated with a few students, as they helped me measure and also provided me with new nuts to try out.

Presentation: I created a trifold board. The effectiveness was the engagement of the board as well as the design.

Reflection: What I would do differently is try a different food and compare the findings to a different set of food.
