A Whole Quarter of Science? Yes!

Science this quarter has been fun! I enjoyed experiments, like the science fair and especially lab 7 where we have to explore our cells. Nor have I had a lot of fun, but I also learned A LOT! I learned about cells, what life is made up of. I learned how the little creatures that make up our bodies work, and the little creatures that make up a plant. Before anything, I had no idea about people science. I just learned about how plants work, and how other non-living things work, but never humans. I never stopped and thought about how we are a live, and what the cause of that is. I only started wondering about ourselves after the science fair because my project was about people and their choices. Then I started looking into it more when we started looking at our own cheek cells and others blood cells, and that is a highlight about this quarter.

I think that I am mostly curious in science because I always wonder, what’s next or what if? This happens when we are in experiments because I look into the experiment and ask, "Would my results be different if...?" I look into the subject and make sense of it, trying to always find something new. I think that curiosity leads to more discoveries and newer understandings of things, and that is why I think of always being curious: so that I always learn more about subjects, but it also comes naturally. An example of when that happened when was when we talked about atoms. I just kept thinking how small an atom was, and if I could see one. Then, it took me to think about the biggest thing, and I thought about the universe. Nevertheless, that got me on my nerves, because I was always wondering: How did it start? Why do we exist? How would other humans look like? Is there even any humans on any other world? Since when I am curious, I try to find out the answers to my questions, but these questions cannot be answered by myself, now.

I think that I would like to be more innovative, I want to think out of the box. I think this because I usually choose normal things to explore, and I want to learn more about unnatural things. I want to explore amazing natures of science! Before, I used to be innovative; my imagination led me through everything, but after a few months, it went away, because I felt like people’s ideas were way more creative than mine, so I started letting everyone else were chose for me. I think that I have to working on being more innovative on my own, thinking more complex and funner ways of doing things.

I have difficulties in being inclusive because sometimes I am so excited that I want to find out everything on my own. In addition, I feel like sometimes I want to find things out by myself to get credit for finding something, to find something on my own.  A plan of action is to letting other people take a chance to explore, and I will add on to their discoveries. This way, I can help other people find out new things, and others can help me, resulting in greater discoveries and luvenheouck moment. I am already working on this plan, because for example: I was working on my Leuwenhoek moment with my friend, and then another group started looking at an ant. I thought that was cool, and then they brought up the idea of blood. To help and try to be more inclusive, I started asking where we could find blood an instead of working lone, I worked with the other group, looking at blood cells together.
Overall, science this quarter has been one of the funnest quarters I have had!
