Reflection:

1. What did you enjoy most about this project and Why? 

I loved learning about the rock cycle because I learned that the rock cycle is the cycle that explain how the three rocks type are related to each other and how Earth processes change of rock from one type of rock to another through time. Also, I liked the activities we choose to do. I wrote a poem and it sounded great when I wrote it. It was a really good topic. 

2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why? 

The most challenging things during this project was to decide our topic because the whole project was easy to plan and actually do but when it came to choose a topic we had a lot of time to choose it. At the end we choose a topic that I think it's really interesting  for me and other people. Another challenge was to make everyone focus on their work but we as a group did it together and finished our work on time. 

3. What new skills did you learn from doing this project? 

I didn't really learn any skills but I really learned how to communicate with other group members and make the project more interesting for them and that made them want to do their work. I also get to practice writing poems. 

4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? 

I have a lot of things to talk about to improve my projects:

• To start editing the movie early so we can have enough time to choose music and also we can add additional pictures and experiments. 
• I could have record our voices and included in our video. 
• I could have set a deadline for each part of the project so we could make the deadline on time. 
• I could have done more activities.
