Project Blog (2/16/18) Invasive Species

Summary
          In this project we chose to learn about an Invasive species or Endangered species. I chose to learn about an Invasive species. An invasive species is a species that was taken to a new place and then there was nothing to eat it so it's population exploded. These species are usualy dangerous to the natives. Sometimes these natives become endangered. Endangered species are when there are not many of that population left.
Backward-Looking
          Before this, all I knew about the Ice plant was that it is Invasive. I had no idea that the Ice plant was edible. I also have no idea that it was from south africa. I did not know that it could grow so fast. I learned that it was sometimes brought to stabilize railroads.

Inward-Looking
          I am very happy about this piece of work. I liked how we had the dioramas to show how the ice plant came. I also liked how we had a live specimen. I did not like how fragile the spinning part was. This because it was made out of legos.

Outward-Looking
          What I did differenty is that I did not make a digital model. My process was similar because I mosyly followed the rubric. I would give myself a B on the project. This is because I missed some minor points on the model. These included soem items on the checklist.

Forward-Looking
           What I would improve is not thinking I'm done before I am. This set me back and I almost did not cite my sources. When I look at the peice, I would like to improve upon how unstable the spinning mechanism was. I would look more closely at the rubric. This would help me with detail.
