IPBL

LOOKING BACK

I learned a lot of things and do a lot of things in the first and second week. First, and most importantly, I got to know almost everybody! I understood their abilities in doing a project. Next, I learned many things about PBL and GSP, such as when the teacher taught us what PBL is and how to use GSP. I also do a lot of things. First,we play the game''sound ball'' we need to make a sound and pass a ''air ball'' .This game make the atmosphere better and we understand each other.

LOOKING FORWARD

I really hope I can improve in PBL. I want to improve my English skills because they are important in most subjects. I also want to train my brain to think of better ideas so I can share more good points of view during discussions. My goal for this semester is to make a project improve our life and get high score.

BLUEPRINT

There are 2 blueprints because we have change the Chimney Filter into Low Tech Air Filter. They are quite different, Chimney Filter is clean the air by filters and use air's rising power. Low Tech Air Filter is clean the air by petroleum jelly and use the fan to force it to go in and out.

PEER FEEDBACK OF PRESENTATION

Improve:

more color
more eye contact

Did well:

clear loud voice
clean presentation

GENERAL FEEDBACK

I think I did well on the presentation, but I can still improve.I look at the feedback paper and find that people sometime can't hear clearly. I guess I will practicing to say something as clear as possible, to try stop telling like "say when eat".

During mock exhibition, there are lots of things I can do better, and there are also my opinion.

First, most people tell that there can be more content and more detail, which means we end too fast.I think I can tell the folder, too. We just skip the folder that include our learning journey and other plan or blueprint. I think I did well, but after looking at all the feedback, I notice those improvement after I see the feedback. Feedback is true important.

SDGS FOR MY PROJECT

9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

9 calls for building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation to address global social, economic, and environmental challenges

We made the Chimney Filter to evolve air. SDGs 9 tell us " Build a dynamic infrastructure, support and sustain industries, and accelerate innovation.” Therefore this invention supports the goal and makes the world better.

3 Good health and well-being

Goal 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. This means helping everyone stay healthy, both in body and mind, so that people can live longer.

This invention gives good health and well-being to humans because they can breathe cleaner air and can be healthier than without this invention.Therefore this invention supports the goal and makes the world better.

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE?

I have learn a lot about climate change from PBL class, I can now separate the climate change and global warming, and I learn lots of other things about our world during PBL class.For instance:

water pollution: Water pollution happens because bad stuff like chemicals and trash, go into water(mostly ocean). It kill fish, plants, and people by making the water not safe. To stop it, we can reduce plastic, use Eco-friendly products, and produce less trash. By the way, water quality also effect by the heat(AKA global warming) which happens because greenhouse gasses.
deforestation: Deforestation is when people cut down trees and replace them as some city related stuff(I don't know how to say😅). It destroys habitats, increases global warming, and makes climate bad. Planting trees and using can help protect our forests and the planet, and decrease the deforestation.

What have you learned about Social Emotional Learning? (SEL)

I learn mostly about how to understand yourself, such as different level of a same kind of feelings. And different feelings bring different effect. For instance, "calm" is good and stable for anyone, but "bored" is not. I now can managed my stress, also I know how to calm down(its quite easy, just take a deep breathe) .I use those knowledge everyday because there are many problem just like an NPC wait for me everyday, so I will need to control and clam down my feelings every time. And they are a really important subject which we can use at the real life, because this subject bring us lots and lots of knowledge that is quite useful.

PROJECT WORK

Trough of the time, my teammates and I have finish quite lot of things.First, we have do some big adjustment with the project. We have changed the way how it look, and how it work. We change it from a big tunnel to a small box. I have learn a lot about air pollution and exhibition knowledge. However, I am still confused about how can jelly clean the air.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE REFLECTION

I have learn a lot about climate change from PBL class, I can now separate the climate change and global warming, and I learn lots of other things about our world during PBL class.For instance:

water pollution: Water pollution happens because bad stuff like chemicals and trash, go into water(mostly ocean). It kill fish, plants, and people by making the water not safe. To stop it, we can reduce plastic, use Eco-friendly products, and produce less trash. By the way, water quality also effect by the heat(AKA global warming) which happens because greenhouse gasses.
deforestation: Deforestation is when people cut down trees and replace them as some city related stuff(I don't know how to say😅). It destroys habitats, increases global warming, and makes climate bad. Planting trees and using can help protect our forests and the planet, and decrease the deforestation.
air pollution: Air pollution mostly cause by a thing called "greenhouse gasses" this stuff isn't very friendly to the Earth if there are too much. "Greenhouse gasses" is a name of a kind of gasses which is in the Earth atmosphere, with too much of them, heat from sun goes in and keep reflect and hard to get out, so it will be hotter. Greenhouse gasses is produce from factory chimney, transportation like cars and motorbike, fuel burning, and others activity that produce greenhouse gasses.

And those interesting fact really connect to our product, because we are doing a air filter!

BUILD LOG AND OBSERVATION

We have working on build our product blueprint into a exact item. First, we use a lot of tape to combine all the acrylic sheet carefully. To higher the efficiency, Aaron and I has become the "tape slice product". Next, we use a spoon to scope the petroleum jelly out from the jar, and scope it on the every side of the acrylic sheets. I really enjoy the process, it is very fun. Then, Mr.Francis help us to make a tunnel and put the fan on the device therefore the air will be force to go in and out. The fan is quite slow, though. Last, Mr.Tony helps to print out the interactive activity paper and buy the flash cards. After we write the question and answer on it, the all stuff require is FINISH !!

FINAL REFLECTION

What did you learn from the exhibition experience?
What went well, and what was hard about exhibition?
Describe how you worked with your team (your shift and your whole group).
Improvements: Name three specific improvements you could make to the work you did this semester, or during exhibition?
Area of Growth: What is a skill or habit you'd like to get better at? What action can you take to help you improve?

I learn how to explain a thing clearly and successful lead stranger to finish the interactive activity. During exhibition, I talk a lot and the strangers is friendly to us., even my teacher comes! However, Chang Hao say less then us a lot and I feel that he is doing nothing is class because he didn't understand any of the information of our air filter, so when we want him to talk to the guest , he can only say "This is our air filter." and no more.

Cooperate:

my shift: Aaron and I did well, we both talk and did well to the visitor.
my team: Liam C., Liam S., Aaron and I did well, we both talk a lot and we separate each part of presentation to eac other. Chang Hao did nothing, and he didn't understand what we are doing.

Improvements

more detailed on describing product
interactive activity explanation
better work management

Area of growth

I am better at building and presenting than doing posters or others profiles, therefore I want to learn more at poster making and profile making. I guess that making profiles over and over again can helps improve it.
