Final Blog Post

• We are getting closer and closer to the end. Everyone is talking about summer already and how we only have a few days left (just finals). I feel very accomplished after finishing our project. It's great to see people making use of the tables in 'Akahi and actually getting good feedback. I really enjoyed this project and like how we have made a small effect on our school. We have opened doors and opportunities for other ideas to be brought up within 'Akahi. I hope that our tables remain a good idea, and maybe one day all of the tables will be replaced. I'm glad I was in this group because I have made new friends. If it hadn't been for this project, I don't think I would have talked Austin, Joe, and Shelly too much. They were great people to have in a group and I feel that we have all worked good together. Things that went well were our ideas and our implementation. Our idea with the tables was a success. We also completed our oral presentation and met the time requirement. I felt that as a group, we did a good job presenting. One thing that didn't go as planned was our deployment day. We were supposed to set up our tables on the day that our deployment was due, but Mr. Morris told us we couldn't. The boarders were having a dinner with Dr. Chun that night, and 'Akahi needed the round tables. I learned to communicate more effectively within a group, and learned that when you work in a group, it's not just about one person doing all of the work. Everyone has to work together and pull their weight. I don't think there needs to be any changes to make this a better activity. As we worked on this project, I felt that we were doing a little science. Our project was mainly related to the scientific method. Our idea to improve the efficiency in 'Akahi was sort of related to inverse relations. Overall I am glad I was in Mr. Blake's class. He has been a great teacher and I loved the fourth quarter's project. It has showed me that physics is everywhere and related to almost everything.
