The Brief:
Use this sticker as you seek understanding of the assignment or problem. Typically this will come from the community, your instructor, or your own observation. You must completely understand the objectives of the project to be successful, so this step is crucial. Develop active listening skills! Entry events for a project are usually a great place to start!
Research: The past 2 weeks in Forensic Science we have been learning about the types of blood evidence. In our group project my group focused on smear patterns. As a team, we researched the description, detection, and causation of smear patterns. Smear patterns are when an object comes into contact with an existing bloodstain that leaves wipes, swipes, and drags from things such as human body parts. For example, when a human being touches a surface with his/her bloody hands and swipes down on the surface it causes a smear pattern.
Use this sticker as you examine a problem from all angles. Ask questions, observe people, situations, and artifacts. Develop empathy for the problem that people facing the situation are experiencing. Find out what you know and what you need to know. Explore all of it!
Idea Development:
Use this sticker as you are discussing and exploring ideas for how to solve a problem. Record these ideas quickly. Ideas may come in the form of graphic organizers, notes, drawings, outlines, or video blogs. Remember to seek feedback before progressing to the next step (then use the Evaluation/Modification sticker).
Prototype:
Use this sticker as you share your more formal ideas--3-d prototypes, mock-ups, drafts, skits, simulations, and storyboards. Remember to seek feedback before progressing to the next step (then use the Evaluation/Modification sticker).
Evaluate and Modify:
Use this sticker when you are evaluating your decisions at each step in the process. When you note a user’s feedback also note what you intend to do about it going forward.
Test:
Use this sticker to explain how you are trying your prototype with real users. Try it out and note the way it performs and is understood by a real audience. Explain methodology and note observations.
Important Dates:
Add this sticker to note due dates/showcases/events/opportunities and requirements for specific parts of the project in your learning journal.
Description: This is an informal space to record your ideas for the PBL project and other activities in class. Don’t worry about grammar. You can write, draw, or record ideas related to the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of your PBL project and learning here.
My Learning Journey:
These are journal entries from ALL of the students’ classes. Students should explore the ideas and concepts in their classes as well as how their classes connect officially and unofficially. If a sticker is needed to describe the phase of the project, please copy and paste it from above.

Cooking, art, food, chemistry all have a relation because you can make art out of food, cooking involves making mixtures. Food has different type of compounds in them and cooking creates chemical changes.

Some items that I use everyday that have elements in them are water, baking soda, salt, chips, soap, syrup,ketchup, deodorant, milk, and gatorade. I use milk, water, and gatorade as a form of hydration and water for other things also. Chips are used as snacks if I’m a little hungry. Syrup and ketchup are used as sauces that go on top of my food. Soap and deodorant are used to keep up good hygiene and stay clean. Baking soda is used to do at home science experiments.

I made changes to my storyboard and showed it to my younger cousin. He said…

This could be related to math because I assume that the artists measure the fabric.
