Audrey's Reflection: I really enjoyed doing this passion time project because I got to work with a partner and I got to make cool cheeses that tasted pretty good! I enjoyed experimenting with the different cheese that we made because I never knew if the cheeses would turn out good until I actually got the chance to try them. I also enjoyed learning about mostly yogurt cheese and making the yogurt cheese. I was a little disappointed because me and Addie always forgot to bring the materials so we didn't have the time to make different cheeses instead of just yogurt. But I did enjoy this experience and it was totally worth being in this partnership and interesting topic! I also really enjoyed mostly tasting the cheeses that we made because most of the ones that we made tasted really good like the lemonade cheese or the cheese that only just had salt. Addie's Reflection: I really enjoyed this passion time project because it was so fun and we could be really creative and kind of do whatever we wanted. We were able to kind of make up any kind of cheese we could find materials for and it was just nice to be able to use anything we could find. The actual cheese making wasn't difficult it was finding recipes that we could do and ones that didn't use insane ingredients. If I did this again I would make sure that a stove was available because lots of cheese needs a stove. I would also try to get my hands on a cheese making kit that has rennet and citric acid. I learned a lot about cheese making through this project it was cool getting to learn how to make different cheeses. Overall this project was really fun and I enjoyed working with Audrey we worked well together.
Brady's reflection This project was fun. I learned a lot about different types of boat hulls. At the beginning of the round, we came up with two of our own boat hulls. Both were complete fails. We thought they would work but they failed. We felt like complete idiots. Then we did some researching about different boat hulls. We found the perfect website with different boat hulls and the pros and cons of the different boat hulls. We realized that the boat the we own is a catamaran. We decided we wanted to try two different types of boat hulls, the deep vee and the shallow vee. We started to create the shallow vee as our hull. This hull worked great and we thought it almost performed better than the catamaran. Then we did the deep vee. This hull was meant to ride it in lakes because it handles choppy water well. This wasn't really meant for ponds which is where we rode our RC boats. This did not perform as well as the catamaran or the shallow vee. Pretty much this project turned into "Which Boat Hull is the Best?" The best part about this project was testing the boat with different hulls. Driving the RC boat around was awesome. My least favorite part about this project was waiting for the boat to come. At the beginning of the round, we decided we would order a RC boat on amazon. This took forever so we had to exchange time with Mr. Solarz. We finally decided to cancel our order and our good friend TJ gave us one of his RC boats. I hope in south that I will be able to do passion time, I will miss it. Ryan's reflection Ryan:
In this project I learned a ton about boats and different hulls. I also had tons of fun testing the boat at ponds and the different hulls were tons of fun to make. It was tons of fun to learn how the different hulls worked and did on the bottom of the boat. I also enjoyed making the videos and time lapses (although we didn't have the I-pad stand). One of my favorite things was the failure and the winning. Like when we found out that our boat wasn’t a dual tunnels but a catamaran and a win was when the shallow vee was the best for us because we're learning different things in this and that's one of my favorite things in any project. Someone I want to thank is TJ for giving us the boat here check his project out click here to see it.
Charlotte's Reflection: What was hard for me and Giluiana to do for our passion time project was to research about how to do the dance. It was hard to find the exact dance that we were looking for, since there are a bunch of different versions of each dance that we made. What was easy for us to find was where the dance originated from, since there were many websites for each dance. What I really thought was fun was making the videos themselves. I liked being able to learn a new dance and then teach someone else how to do the dance. What I thought was boring was having to research where the dances originated from. Since i might have already known where it originated from. What I would do differently next time is I would plan my time better so that we could easily get to each dance without rushing. Some advice that I would give to others that I learned form this project is that you should make some sort of plan at the beginning so that each day you know what you should be doing and you don't waste time. I learned a lot about different dances from this project because I have never been a very serious dancer, I now know more about dancing than I definitely did before I started this project. This was a fun project because I got to learn a lot about dancing, things that I didn't know before. Giuliana's Reflection:
I really enjoyed this project. Dancing has always been part of my family, so it was cool to learn some new things. I loved working with Charlotte, a fun, reliable partner. She was always willing to try anything and pushed herself on hard dances. It was fun to learn new things, but not researching. Something that was hard for us was figuring out where different dances came from. Every site said something different and it took tons of time to check what sources are reliable. I really wished we had time to do more because we had to cut out two dances. Overall, I learned lots about dance and would have continued this project.
Andrew's Reflection I had a lot of fun learning about the planes because they fascinate me and are very cool to learn about. It was hard though to do the blog post sadly. Logan and I had trouble finishing things. It was really easy to make the google docs because we have things like so many times. It was great working with Logan because he is a lot of fun. Even though he was gone a lot of the time, he was a great help and easy to work with. Logan's Reflection I had a lot of fun learning about different planes and how they work. It was cool to me that planes didn't have weapons in WW1. It was cool that.
Addy's Reflection: This passion time project was so fun! Rachel and I work so well together and with less time, we did accomplish a lot! Most people would think that making movies would be a piece of cake, but it is NOT! At home we had to come up with scenes. And at school we would work our butts of to film it all! And most of the time, we ended up with older computers, so it was hard to even combine all of the clips we made! But Rachel always kept me calm and pushed me to work harder and to get everything done! I really like making films but I think that I could come up with more ideas and be more creative. Next time I hope that I have more time to make a movie because the amount of time we had really put pressure on us. But overall, this was such a fun project and I definitely do it again! Rachel's Reflection:
This was a fun and ambitious passion project! While having less passion time than usual, I think we accomplished a lot! Addy was fun to work with and was a hard working partner. I really enjoyed this project because we got to be creative and come up with a plot for our movie. Next movie I make it will be of real people because the stuffed animal's don't move there mouths. So it is sort of hard to move them when they talk to make it more lifelike. But overall I think we managed our time pretty well and did a good job. I am so glad I did this passion project and hope that I can make a film again! |
