7P10 STEM

Day 1: I started tree

Day 2: I added smaller branches with toothpicks

Day 3: I made the bunny and butterfly.

Day 4: I started to shape the tree with hot glue

Day 5: I applied tin foil to the tree for decoration then took a video

• Using cardboard, glue, foil, and sticks, I created an old tree with animals because I love nature and animals. More specifically, I put a bunny and butterfly. I enjoy being in nature and with animals, so I decided to show it in my project.

• During this process, I learned that foil doesn't stick very easily. I was able to get it to stick by pressing it on really hard. I enjoyed making this project.

• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Creative Communicator because I used it to show my interests. Specifically, my love for nature and animals.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was I missed this class 2 days in a row. I was able to do it by working really hard when I got back. In the end, I did finish my project in time.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change how much time I had. The reason why I would change it is because I could have done a lo more if I had enough time. I would have loved to add more animals.
