PAU!!!!!

Finally we finished our project and I am glad that we have done this and came with a solution for a problem. I'm also glad that we reached outside of high school and went down to the elementary to fix a problem. Our presentation also went well, we said enough and explained our project enough for people to understand our project. I thought that our project went really well and I also felt like a role model when the elementary kids were watching us make our sprinkler system. One thing that did not go as plan was that our sprinkler kit system that we bought at Lowes didnt work. We were planning to use that sprinkler kit and create a drip system for the garden. I learned that when you want to make a change you need to make sure you have no distractions and that you actually really want to make a change. Also when working in a group you need to communicate with your group members and also make sure that you are not afraid to tell your group member that they are not doing there jobs. You also need to create closeness with your partners to make sure you guys are close enough and comfortable enough with each other. Another thing I learned is that when doing this type of project you need to have good time management or you wont finish your project. I also learned from this project that something small can actually really make a big change. Even though our project was a small change, I think that the elementary kids really looked up to us and hopefully from us they are willing to make a change as well. I think that one that I would change would be telling administration to not take forever to email you back and contact you back. I know how they are busy and everything but I still think they could atleast get back to us. Mrs. Martin didnt even get back to us after we emailed her. The main project was was this project even science related? I say yes, even though it was a strech.  I think about it this way, science is about problem solving. We solved a problem with the plus of helping someones need. This was a great project and should be repeated again next year. HOOULU IA KAMEHAMEHA!!!!
