1. Justify how this project/activity/assignment meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself to demonstrate your mastery and/or understanding.
Standard: 3a. I know the structure of the atom is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. This standard relates to the assignment because it talks about me knowing what the atom is made of and what is in where. In this assignment I had to make an atom and had to put the right amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the right places.
2. Elaborate on at least 1 Science & Engineering Practices you feel you met/gained from completing this project.
For this assignment, I used the developing and using models Science and Engineering Practice. I know this because the task was to make a model for my atom which was Titanium. I had to get different materials and make a model to make it look like Titanium and I had to add a specific number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for the atom. By using different techniques, I had to be creative and try to make everything hold together.
3. Upon reflecting on your work/score, what is ONE SEP/or area of work you could have done better on? How will improving in this SEP/area benefit future work/projects?
Something I could've done better on for this project is obtaining, evaluating, and communicating info. This is because my partner and I didn't really communicate with each other while we were making the model. If we had fixed this flaw, we could've made the model better and neater. Also, we could've came up with a more creative way of making the atom we made.
4. How will you presently apply the content and skills you learned from this assignment in the real-world, outside of the classroom? Make connections between the content and your life
I could apply this assignment in the real world for when I need to make atoms and know where the protons, neutrons, and electrons are. I would know that there has to be a specific amount of the specific parts of the atom to make a specific atom. By knowing all of this, it would help me in the real world when I need to explain an atom and what it's made up of, how you can tell what atom is what, and etc.
