Here is My Reflection on ETC For Today:

1.How many energy transfers do you have?

I think my group has 2 or 3 energy transfers.

2.Have you tested what you do have?

We have tested mini parts of what we have but since were not done we haven’t tested the whole thing together because we haven’t put the whole thing together yet.

3.What materials do you still need?

We still need 5 or 6 red marbles that are pretty small although if they are big that’s also okay but we would prefer small ones but they NEED to be RED. We also still need a mini toy car(red if possible,but any color is okay).

4.Have you double checked your rubric to make sure you have met all the requirements?

No I have not checked mine but since I remember basically all the requirements I already know in my head that we have met basically all of them and the only reason we didn’t meet one is because we haven’t finished the whole Rube Goldberg yet.

5.Are you concerned about not being completed on time? Why or why not? Have you communicated this to your teachers?

I am only a little nervous because some people in our group are taking other peoples good,quick,and easy ideas and not using them but instead they are using  their own ideas and not compromising or even just listening to our ideas. Also there are a few people in our group who want to help but when we ask “What do you need help with” they just say nothing or they say something that makes no sense and when we ask to clarify they get mean or impatient. Those reasons would be the only reasons I’m concerned about not finishing in time and if we still feel that way at the end of class on Wednesday I will suggest that before Monday during ETC we use some of our Hafsakah(Recess) time to finish it up. Some of my group members have told teachers about kids not being nice or fair but when the teacher said “I will come help you in a few minutes” they never came.
