The beginning of my journey:In the beginning of the year, when i first stepped foot into mr.Robinson’s science class, i was very nervous.When he started talking about SSEP i was getting less nervous and more excited.We watched a video of what our SSEP project was and how it was going to help us learn about the science around us.
Define the problem in our own words: My problem was to find out whether oil and vinegar sperate at the same time while in micro-gravity as it would on earth, while mixed together in the same tube.
Dream possibilities of experiments. List all the possibilities we brainstorm no matter how far-fetched they are. To solve this problem, i entered the SSEP competition for an opportunity to send my experiment/problem into space, i worked and brainstormed with my group to solve this problem. we brainstormed ways the class could all bring our projects into space, by holding each project in a little tube, which meant the experiments had to be small and simple.
Design and deliver our proposed experiments. With my group, we brainstormed ways we could make this proposal the best we could, we reached out to science teachers that we had in the past, by email and took their opinion and ideas into mind. We explained our experiment with details and explained what we were going to do to solve the experiment.
Debrief the process asking questions such as: How did the process of completing this challenge go? What was done well? What could have been done better? there were many steps to this challenge, which made it easier to complete because it was broken down into task we had to do. We just like any project or assignment, we started with a rough draft and ended with a good copy.
