For this assignment we worked with understanding and learning background knowledge on sound waves. We did a video on frequency, pitch, amplitude, loudness, and more. Then we explored the parts of a 3D ear, and how sound travels through it. We then explained the parts of an ear, and what they do. This assignment was really confusing for me because I missed a lot of the background knowledge of the other types of waves, so I wasn't really understanding this.
This was our first test on waves, I received an approaching on this because I guessed on almost all of the questions, But we started the wave unit when I was gone and I was only there for one wave class, so I didn't know what we were working on, so I made an educated guess. This quiz was all about waves, light waves, sound waves, and more.
My goal for future science quizzes is to, if I don't know the answer, to make an educated guess. Also, to understand what we are doing in class.
Like our chemistry unit in science, we also did anchor charts. The purpose was to show what you had learned in class, or the main highlights of what you learned or thought was important. I received a meets on my anchor charts because I was able to show what I learned in class and add images that related to what the topic was or what I was saying. I hope to get the same grade on future anchor charts because I think a meets is a pretty good grade. Next time I might make some of the images a little easier to see, because on my anchor chart #4, the waves were hard to read.
This exhibition was all about waves, my group worked together to create and escape room and many clues and puzzles.
I got an exceeds on my overall exhibition, and a meets on my exhibition reflection.
What went well for the players playing your game:
They read things very clearly for everyone to hear, and found the clues when they should. They also worked together relatively well when looking for clues. When we told them the amount of time they had, they started to pick up the pace and take that into consideration.
What was challenging for the players playing your game:
I think they got bored when reading so much information, which was often repetitive. Sometimes they didn’t notice clues right in front of them. I think it was hard for some of them to read the small words. They also might have had difficulty when reading in the dark atmosphere, but they used their phone lights.
How well did the players feel your escape room taught them about light waves and sound waves:
I think they learned a lot of good information. They said that there was a bit of repetitive information though. But they learned and used their knowledge when solving the puzzles.
How immersive did the players feel the escape room was? Did the creative artifacts enhance the setting of the room:
They really liked how the escape room looked and the vibes. They thought it was pretty immersive, especially when finding the clues. They liked the decor, lighting, and outfits a lot.
If you were to design an escape room like this again, what would you do differently and why:
I would do less reading, and maybe actually have more things they do with their hands. I would also have a bigger area because it was kind of cramped. I would also get more lights because while the darkness was cool it was a bit too dark, but the lights were too bright.
How well did you work together with your group to complete this exhibition:
My group worked really well together, we got a lot done. We also agreed on almost everything,and when we had disagreements or arguments we were able to sort it out quickly. We also worked well on our individual things, and worked great when doing things as a whole group.
