Looking back at the planning we did in the beginning I think we stuck to our plan and over the weeks produced a good project.
Having had the experience of this project, if I was planning another project I would be more organised so I know exactly what my group is doing each day.
The link I will add shows our very first weekly planner we made, throughout the weeks we made more.
Our process-
Time management/ work flow-
Looking back at how well we planned and then recorded each week's and day's work and managed our time, I think we completed each weeks work on time, although as i said above we could have been more organised.
In the future I would have each days work planned out at the start of the week therefore we would know what we were doing at the start of each day.
Research-
Looking at our research and comparing it to what other groups did, I think our group did very good research, although as I read each groups work it seemed everyone had done fantastic research.
Another time, I would use google/websites more as we used books and knowledge from people.
Planning and presentation-
Looking back now at how we planned and prepared our presentation, I think our group did very good, we got our presentation prepared and finished on time and up to standard.
I wouldn't do anything differently.
showcase day-
The link above is our slide show that we printed out and was the main part in our presentation.
Here are just a few photos taken of us doing part of our research which was water testing the Mangapouri stream. These photos were included in our presentation.
In my opinion showcase day ran very smoothly and there was a good turn out of people, everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves and finding it interesting to learn the research we had been doing.
My group constantly made sure to have someone at our showcase at all times to assure if anyone would like to ask us questions they were welcome to.
Reflection-
What skills did we use?
we used our initiative to think of the different things we would need to test/ research for our project to have its best outcome.
Would you like to do more of this type of work next year?
Yes I would, I liked that we were able to come up with our own plans and decide what we wanted to do our self.
What did you learn from this process that will help with future projects?
I learnt that even if it is difficult and you may not know what you are doing, if you put your mind to it you can complete it. Going into this I knew nothing about sustainable energy and now I definitely do!
What advice would you give to the teachers if they are running this or something similar in the future?
To take a step back and let the students plan their work. Although we planned all our own work it did often still feel as though the teachers took over.
