Our project outline gave us a brief overview of what we had install ahead of us. We went through the rubric and i found, once again, that i am going to dislike this project, but i guess i can’t help it, I just dont like science. The 2nd project, is a lot better however than the first. my group though, is not as good as my previous, and this is going to alter the outcome a little. If i work good though, we can get a lot done and it will be of high quality. Today’s lesson was a very decent lesson, we did a good practical and we all worked very productivly. We took a brief video on our practical, as to use it if we need to present this in any way. Overall, i enjoyed the prac, and it was a very fun lesson.
