This Week In Science #15

     This week in science we worked on many different things. We worked on redoing our marshmallow challenge. We got into the same groups that we were in at the beginning of the year and worked about doing it again. We did the marshmallow challenge twice and each time we had to do something different. We then measured how much each of our sculptures measured and worked on making it bigger and better than it had be the previous times. Lastly we needed to find a way to keep the marshmallows up and to keep then keep it from falling. The step back was that we couldn't talk or use our voices only hand signals or writing down our ideas on paper.

       This week in science we learned many different things from how to keep out work from falling to working back together with groups. For my group it was harder to work on our sculpture because we couldn't agree on how to do it. Also we couldn't agree on how to make it big and make it stay up. We worked hard on planning it out but when it was time to get our ideas started it wouldn't work. The first time we did our sculpture  it didn't stay up. When david went to measure it, it fell. The second time our group set out on working on the sculpture  again. We made it halfway to building it and started to realize that the problem with our sculpture was that the middle kept breaking. We fixed the problem and even thought our sculpture ended up not being the tallest, at least it stood up and it didn't fall. We worked on working in silence. Lastly we worked on making our tower bigger because it kept falling no matter what we did.

     I really enjoy working in groups. Honestly, sometimes I want to work by myself, because I really don't like it when my grades are affected by what other people do or don't do. I like working together with people because sometimes it splits up the work evenly. I work better  in groups now because you have share your ideas. you have to learn that sometimes other people may have good ideas and you have to hear them out. I would say that working in groups is better now because you know your groups members more that we did at the beginning  of the year.
