Midterm project

On Tuesday in Dr. E's class, a few different groups presented their projects, including my group. I was kind of nervous being the second group to go because I did not want to look bad compared to the first group, but it all worked out in the end. Each group that presented on Tuesday was very well prepared, touching on each point that Dr. E wanted them to. All of the groups talked about safety precautions and described what they would do if they were actually performing the experiment. It was very interesting to see the different ideas that each group came up with; I do have to say though, that my groups project was the messiest and probably took the longest. My group was so excited about our project that we just wanted to stay up there and perform the whole experiment like we would for our classroom, so we did. If we would have presented only bits and pieces of our experiment, then I do not think our experiment would be as exciting as it was. I really think that we thought of a good experiment that helped to keep the students attention. During the experiment I was watching some of the people, and it was funny to see some of their reactions to what we were doing or about to be doing. I thought that the experiments were a very good idea and now I have an experiment that I could perform for my classroom someday!
