The Greenhouse
Concepts
Communication: The distribution of information by talking to another or a group. This project involved a lot of communication. Every idea had to be communicated to your group, otherwise you wouldn't be able to create a cohesive idea. My group and I all decided what our solution was going to be by communicating.
Research: The investigation that goes into a topic. We did large amounts of research on starvation. This helped us learn more about starvation and how we could find a solution for it.
Engineering Design Cycle: There are eight steps to the engineering design cycle. Identify your problem, then research your problem, develop possible solutions for your problem, select your solution, construct a prototype, test and evaluate, communicate results, redesign, and repeat. We used this to create our solution to our world problem.
We did not use as many mathematical terms in this project as we had the one before. As you can see, these concepts are not direct equations like, force, or velocity.

Reflection
I really enjoyed this project. My group and I worked really well together and all had a similar way of thinking. Everyone contributed towards the project, and we finished in the perfect time! There was very little problems we ran into, everything went very smoothly. We spent a lot of time researching our problem and greenhouses, and I think it really helped in the end. We knew our material and how we were going to find a solution. I learned a lot of new information, especially about starvation, during this activity. I also feel proud of our end result.
Two things I feel I could've done better on during this project was having a little more patience, and a being little more on task. I need to work on being more patient when working on something, like a slideshow, when I know that we will finish in time. Next time I will work on having more patience when with a slower task. Being on task is also another thing I struggle with. It is mostly talking about non- related topics. In future projects I will try not getting as distracted as I usually do.
Two things I feel as if I did really well on was time management and thinking of ideas. This project my group and I really managed our time well. I also completed everything I wanted to work on in time, and it was very satisfying. Creating new ideas is another thing I do well on. I helped push the idea of focusing on starvation for our project. As a group I think we did really well on cooperating with each other's different opinions. As well as cooperation, there were many other things I think my group and I succeeded on.
