Atomic Structure Model
1. Justify how this project/activity/assignment meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself to demonstrate your mastery and/or understanding.
I know that the an atom contains protons, neutrons, electrons. Inside the nucleus, there are the protons and neutrons that are stuck together because the neutrons acts as an glue. This assignment demonstrates my mastery because I was given an element and I had to arrange it with protons and neutrons accordingly.
2. Elaborate on at least 1 Science & Engineering Practice you feel you met/gained from completing this project.
I feel I learned a whole lot about the atom and the things inside it. I learned the purpose of protons, neutrons, and electrons and how they work. I feel I also learned how to represent something creatively using my head and work as a team. Trying to build the atom was something I don't do and it helped me experience what it was like to build something.
3. Upon reflecting on your work/experience and/or score, what is ONE SEP you could have done better on? How will improving in this SEP benefit future work/projects?
I could have done better on the structure of the atom and make it more appealing. I had to get the right materials and build it representing the atom. I did not think ahead and did not brainstorm and just went right for I. I learned that I should think before I do it and learn how to communicate that to my partner. This will make my future projects more appealing and more interesting to look at.
4. How will you presently apply the content and skills you learned from this assignment in the real-world, outside of the classroom? Make connections between the content and your life.
These skills I learned from working with a partner to create or represent an atom will surely take me farther in the future. Learning how to work and collaborate with people is an essential skill that is needed in anything I do. Everyday, people communicate with others and it is very important to know how to talk with someone so that you can work most efficiently.
