Here is our Domino Spelling Rube Goldberg Machine.
What kinds of questions did I need to research in order to research my topic? My main questions revolved around what a black hole is, what it does, and how it is formed.
What new/familiar tools did I try to use as I worked through this project? I mainly used tools that I was comfortable with, like Microsoft Powerpoint.
What was the process I used to investigate the topic? I made sure that I had a couple large, main questions set, and then once I answered those, I would make smaller questions.
How did I verify and cite the information I found? I made sure that if I saw somethign written on one website, that the person who published the article was in the science field, and I made sure to double check all the important facts with other credible source. To cite my information, I made a slide at the end of my Powerpoint that listed all the websites I used, along with images and the video.
How did the process of completing the challenge go? What could I have done better? I think that this process was good, I found it important to understand how to create a meaningful question. I had a good question, but I feel I could’ve developed it more into a more specific question, but nonetheless the question I used was effective.
