I was presented with the opportunity to help children learn the skills of public speaking in a school environment. I’ve learned through experience that striving for perfection isn’t always possible and that occasionally accepting flaws can result in the best results. I feel blessed when I assist young children in improving their communication abilities and see how they change and gain confidence. Through this process, I have come to understand the need of changing instruction to each student’s requirements, stimulating creativity, and creating an environment where each kid may express themselves uniquely.

You may see one of the projects a student created below that she used to try to persuade us to listen to a certain musician. Based on the television program Shark Tank, the project. The children were instructed to persuade me of anything. It’s Jordyn McGriff-Laduna who attends Science Leadership Academy @Beeber!

In many different ways can earth systems be affected by each other. The best example of this is the rain cycle, which shows what happens when the biosphere interacts with the hydrosphere. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? I think by you knowing particular pieces of knowledge about a natural disaster you might be able to keep yourself safe. For example, knowing how to detect when something like a hurricane or a tornado is coming. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Many things are damaging the earth right now but I feel like the increase in gas products releasing unwanted gasses into the air is something we should stop or try to do. Your reaction to your findings and overall project Overall I am not too shocked being as though I knew things about the topic. I am a little caught off guard by some of the damage earthquakes do.
