Science One World Essay Project Reflection
This is my science essay about SARS.
In science class, we wrote an essay about diseases. We were able to choose a diseases and research about it. There were some choices given, but we were also able to choose our own. I chose SARS and I think it was really interesting, because SARS was a new illness.
I’m proud of …
- I think I included the things that I needed to. For example, we needed to include at least two example of how SARS helped the world.
- I tried my best. Some people say trying your best is the best and I agree with that statement.
Things that I have difficulty with…
- I couldn’t arrange my time.
- I was a little confused by some things. For example, I didn’t know how SARS helped the world culturally, environmentally, politically and socially, because it was such a new illness so it didn’t have that much history.
Things that I could have done better
- I could have arranged my time more better, so that I can do the finish the science essay and also other project in time.
- I could have asked things that I didn’t know to the teacher.
But overall, I am satisfied with my work!!
Things that I learned…
- One of the things that I learned is what SARS stands for, because at the start of this project, I didn’t even know what SARS is.
- I also learned that SARS is a diseases that makes you have difficulty with breathing.
- I learned that one thing can affect other things really quickly.
Taking lessons? Researching ourselves?
Usually, we take several lessons to learn about the topic that we are going to do project with. But this time, it was a little different. We did research about our own diseases by ourselves. I like both ways, because both has its own benefit. But I think researching by ourselves is a little better. The reason is that it is better is because when we learn during our lesson, there is a limited resources, but if we research by ourselves, we could learn whatever we want about our topic. But I also think that we should take some lesson to study about, because we can’t use the computer for the whole time. Sometimes, hand-written notes are more helpful. Consequently, I like both ways but I like researching better.
Overall, it was a good topic to study about. I learned a lot of things about SARS.
