Name - of Assignment: Atomic Model Subject: Chemistry Facilitator/Teacher: Mrs. Shirkodai
Description of Work/Assignment: For this assignment I was given a random atom to study and create an accurate 3D model of.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? I think this project is the perfect example of thinking and problem solving because I had a lot of obstacles regarding the 3D model.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I am most proud of how well the project looked at the end, especially given the flimsy materials I used and I had to shape them.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I used my family to help me solve this problem and come up with a variety of solutions to multiple problems.
What was most difficult about completing this task? The most difficult part about completing this task was paying attention to small details because I knew Mrs. S would not be generous with the grading.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? If I were to improve my work I think I would only change the explanation video to sound more natural and less like I was following a script.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? I spent a lot of time learning about parts of atoms in sixth grade and a little bit in the other grades leading up to my sophomore year which prepared me for understanding this year’s content.
How can you apply this to future learning? I can apply this a lot throughout college because thinking and problem solving is, in my opinion, the most useful 21st century skill.
