I made an animal handling infographic including guidelines, animal likes and dislikes. I connect this artifact to problem-solving because by having this infographic you could quickly refer back to this when in an animal setting and you need a quick refresher. It has the general information you need to be safe for yourself and the animal. And it tells you how to treat the animal what not to do around the animals and what to do to ensure the most safety essically for your self. Anything could happen and in a situation where you could be hurt it the animal could be hurt you need to respond quickly and correctly. If you make a mistake that could be your life, that's why having this is very important and can lead to a clam and collected outcome. 

Red Gate Woods was a special place filled with stories from a long time ago. The big trees there protected secrets from when Enrico Fermi did his experiments, hidden by nature.

Exploring the woods felt like finding a hidden treasure of history where the wonder of nature met old mysteries. Red Gate Woods felt magical, a place where the past's whispers waited for us to discover and think about the amazing things hidden there. I'm linking this activity to personal mindset because it gave me a new out look on different things in my life. 

The math cup stacking activity was both fun and full of learning. It was like a puzzle, figuring out how to stack the cups quickly while using math skills. Counting, patterns, and even some geometry came into play. Each move had a math trick behind it—timing, sequences, and strategies. It was cool how speed and accuracy depended on math techniques. As I stacked cups, I realized math was everywhere, making the activity more than just a game. It taught me that math isn't just numbers on paper; it's about thinking fast, problem-solving, and having a blast while doing it. i put this activity in problem solving. 

In constructing the physics whirlybird project, I dove into principles of aerodynamics and torque. The challenge of balancing rotor size, weight distribution, and blade angle revealed the delicate equilibrium necessary for flight. Assembling the helicopter model, I grasped the significance of center of mass and its impact on stability. Experimentation underscored the interplay between air resistance, lift, and gravitational forces, influencing the craft's descent rate. Troubleshooting rotor adjustments honed my problem-solving skills, emphasizing the correlation between design alterations and performance outcomes. Ultimately, this project fostered a profound appreciation for the intricate harmony between physics concepts and practical engineering, enhancing my grasp of flight dynamics

Exploring Othello's complex psyche through Mandela's lens illuminated the parallels between power, manipulation, and societal dynamics. Observing Othello's tragic downfall mirrored Mandela's fight against oppression, highlighting the destructive influence of deceit and prejudice. Analyzing Othello's internal struggles underscored Mandela's resilience amid adversity, revealing the human capacity for both nobility and vulnerability. Unraveling the themes of trust, betrayal, and racial tension within Othello's narrative offered a poignant reflection on Mandela's enduring quest for justice and reconciliation. This comparative study evoked a deeper understanding of the intricate human condition, shedding light on the universal themes that transcend time and cultural boundaries. 

 Planning for Success 

Reflecting on my presentation, I realized the importance of thorough preparation and audience engagement. Researching and organizing content meticulously allowed for clear, logical flow, while practicing multiple times enhanced my confidence and delivery. Audience interaction, through questions and feedback, was crucial for maintaining interest and gauging comprehension. Visual aids, kept simple and relevant, effectively supported key points. Moving forward, I aim to focus more on storytelling to make the content relatable and memorable. Additionally, I will work on managing time more efficiently to ensure all points are covered without rushing. Overall, this relates to planning for success because will need to know how to make an engaging presentation   in the future. 

Creating a project on the 1970s was an enlightening experience that deepened my understanding of this transformative decade. Researching various aspects—political events, social movements, cultural trends, and technological advancements—revealed the interconnectedness of historical events and their lasting impacts. Synthesizing this information into a cohesive narrative honed my analytical and organizational skills. The project also highlighted the importance of diverse perspectives, as the 1970s were marked by significant changes in civil rights, gender equality, and global relations. Presenting this information creatively, through multimedia elements, engaged my audience and reinforced the era's significance. This project enriched my historical knowledge and presentation abilities.

Creating a factoring brochure for my Trig I class was a valuable learning experience that solidified my understanding of key mathematical concepts. Designing the brochure required breaking down complex factoring methods into clear, concise explanations and step-by-step guides, which reinforced my own comprehension. Incorporating visual aids like diagrams and examples helped make the information more accessible and engaging for others. This project also enhanced my communication skills, as I needed to present the material in a way that was both informative and easy to understand. Overall, the process boosted my confidence in factoring and improved my ability to convey mathematical ideas effectively. This relates to problem-solving because I had to take these problems  and solve them even if I was struggling. 

Writing a group essay on Franklin D. Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor speech was a rewarding collaborative experience. Analyzing his rhetoric and historical context deepened my appreciation for his leadership during a critical moment in history. Working with my group, we divided tasks based on our strengths, which fostered teamwork and improved our research and writing skills. Discussing and interpreting the speech's impact allowed us to understand its emotional and political significance. Peer feedback helped refine our arguments and writing style. This project not only enhanced my knowledge of WWII and Roosevelt's presidency but also strengthened my ability to work effectively in a team.

Conducting the lab on the coefficient of friction was an enlightening experience. It provided hands-on insight into the principles of friction, enhancing my understanding of static and kinetic friction forces. Measuring frictional forces between different surfaces and materials highlighted the variability and practical implications of friction in real-world applications. The experiment honed my skills in data collection, analysis, and application of theoretical concepts to experimental setups. Additionally, it underscored the importance of precision and control in scientific experimentation.
