Cheerios Project
1. Justify how this project/activity/assignment meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself to demonstrate your mastery and/or understanding.
Standard: 3e. I know that in solids the atoms are closely locked in position and can only vibrate; in liquids the atoms and molecules are more loosely connected & can collide with and move past one another; and in gases the atoms and molecules are free to move independently, colliding frequently. This project meets the standard because I needed to know how the states of each matters looked like in the inside and how their characteristics were. I also needed to know the movements for the states of matters to finish this assignment and get a perfect score.
2. Elaborate on at least 1 Science & Engineering Practices you feel you met/gained from completing this project.
I feel like I met developing and using models because I had to get cheerios and paste them on paper to describe the three states of matter. They were solid, liquid, and gas and for solid, I glued the cheerios tightly packed with a pattern. For liquid, I glued them a little spaced out but not too much and for gas, I glued the cheerios very space out.
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?
One SEP I could've done better on is analyzing and interpreting data. This is because I could've found more information of the three states of matter. If I improved on this, it would help me later on when I have to find a lot of information and not just basic information for an assignment.
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 can apple the skills I learned from this assignment when I find information about certain things. Also, it can help me when I nee ideas to represent something using food(in this case cereal). Lastly, I can apply the skill of making a model and being creative.
