A major challenge I have overcome this year would be sharing my answers and opinions more with my group. I feel like I have been more confident with my answers, even if it is wrong or not.. Before I would of been much more calm and just go along with others answer, even when I know i could potentially have a better answer. This year I have really been able to argue with others answers and opinions. Another thing I have improved on this year was taking on all or most of the challenge options by pushing myself to take on a harder task and improve more in that area. Before i wouldn't really take on the challenge if it were too hard, but I have pushed myself to try on all the challenges this year.

A praiseworthy product from Math/Science I created this semester was the Ballon Powered Car. I feel like this was one of my praiseworthy because when we first started building the car we finished really early with a simply design and effect, but it was not praiseworthy so we decided to continue working on it. We worked and worked on it and it eventually got 20 meters. Which came in second.

Something in Math/Science that really got me thinking was the Balloon powered Car, along with the Bottle rocket project because we really had to keep thinking on how to fix our product to it's potenial ability. Because of the mistakes we made through the process we had to find ways and use things we learned to apply it to our project.

My goals for next semester in math/Science is to take on all the challenge options possible to help me improve in multiple areas and have a stronger understanding on things. I will achieve this by pushing myself to work harder by not doing the minimum, but by doing more than I am able to. Another goal of mine is to participate more not in my group, but with the whole class. I will do this by speaking up more and challenge my answers
