Winding Down

The meeting held today was one of the last times our group will gather before presenting our final presentation; most everyone was present. Today we furthered our research on our subject and continued finalize some of the slides on the powerpoint. Many of us looked for more images to better explain our hypothesis. Adam continued to work on the hypothesis. Clayton and Will worked hard on gathering their images. Ann finished her search for the images of frost on Mars, while Niamh worked on the powerpoint. Everyone is working hard and doing their part to prepare for the final presentation!

Nearing the Finish Line

As we start the last quarter of our school year. We are beginning to wind down our research for the MSIP project. Students have continued to work on their section of the project for the final presentation. We did take a break during Easter, but now are starting up again. So far my view of our project is a bit different from the students. I find that I'm enjoying watching them come to find that researching is very different from labs and other activities we normally do in class. Their frustration is evident when they are trying to find the RSL's in photos or even changes about the RSL's. But I try to tell them that even though we have our hypothesis our research might show it to be incorrect. Future research might have to go in a different direction. I think they are all starting to see what research is all about. As we continue to finish the project, students will start blogging about what they are finding and how they viewed the whole experience. So sit back and enjoy the results.

Thanks
