Science Report card score (5), and the artificial propagation essay grade (7)
Reflection
This quarter in science we started learning about the animals kingdom. It was a much more easier and simple topic then that of chemistry for me. We learned about what the animal kingdom exactly was, pollination, asexual and sexual reproduction, transportation systems (xylem and phloem), and about artificial propagation. The topic was mainly easy because we had already learned about the topic in grade 7, and then again in grade 8. Though it was easy, I still faced several difficulties such as completely and successfully learning about the scientific concepts, and understandings. That was according to the teachers comments on my report card. My chosen sample of my best work for this quarter was the essay about propagation. It was my best sample of chosen work for this quarter, since from all my works, I have achieved the highest grades for this essay. This was because I was able to understand what propagation is, and what benefits, and cons it had on society. I was also able to achieve a high grade on this essay, because I was able to check my essay with my teacher before I submitted it. Which helped me to see the flaws in my work, and enabled me to fix them. For example she said that I have to add more information about the pros and cons. I am happy that I did this essay well, and hope to preserve my success into the future. Though I also hope to improve my scientific understandings, and knowledge. By next time analyzing my scientific data more carefully, by reading and understanding the scientific concepts. I could achieve this by simply doing some research about the topic were discussing about, and reading more about the topic in our science discovery books.
Global Context
The global context that I have chosen for this quarter is Globalization and Sustainability. This is because we learned how artificial propagation could be beneficial, and at the same time bad (in several ways) for plants and society. We had to learn about this when we were doing our essay about artificial propagation. I have after my research, been able to understand why artificial propagation could be beneficial. Since it helps us easily reproduce numerous plants in a fast pace, which would help feed millions of people effectively. However that its at the same time ineffective for the plant, since all its offsprings carry out the same deceases, and flops.
