We chose to do our project this way because we both likes sports. However, we like different sports, so we did different objects to express ourselves through the things we do. We both like sports, so we thought it would be a good idea to work together to create a project that represents both of our interests.
I did a hockey helmet because I love hockey, I have been ice skating for over 8 years and have played hockey for 2 years. The helmet I used was one of the first helmets I got and I used it to played hockey. It means a lot to me because of all these reason and because I have used it so many times. However, I grow out of the helmet a while ago and it was very damaged from using it so much. So I thought it would be a great thing to use for this project, I would have used something like a hockey sick of skate but the hockey stick is too big and a skate will smell. Which is when I got the idea to use a helmet, and I remembered all the things I used the helmet for. This is why I used a hockey helmet for my science project.
This project connects to me in a very personal way because I have been playing sports for most of my life now. Baseball in particular has been a very big part of my life because I have learned a lot of skill and made a lot of friends. I started out with tee ball and worked my way up to baseball with hard baseballs. I did that up until I was 14. It has really been a very great experience for me because it has taught me a lots of techniques and values that I would use with other sports. I will always remember what I have learned from playing baseball. By making my project with a baseball bat, it is meant to represent baseball and not just the baseball bat in particular. The baseball bat to me represented all the years I have been in baseball, all the friends I have made, and all the games I have played.
