End of Term Reflection
Here are some of the activities we did in class this term: Harper's Magazine ("Boots on the Ice"), Hurricane Evacuation Plan, Designer Babies (GATACA), Genetic Diseases, Evolution Movies/Research, NYT Science Reviews, Punnett Squares, Chemical Bond Diagrams, The Periodic Table, The Birth and Death of Stars

I enjoyed and learned alot about designer babies, and evolution was really interesting. I also enjoyed working on NYC science times. well i have to amit the periodic table was hard for me. then there was the punnett squares it took me a long time to understand it my friends had to take me back to fifth grade. Computer class= make sure all computers are working Videos = make it where we have it organized in one part instead of stoping and going. it takes up to much time. Student Group Activities = have a schdule of what would be going on for the semester by the secode week so everyone has a chance to be involed at some point. Evaluations = overall this class was not the easyest but i didnt mine being here because i enjoyed haveing mr.Lewis as my techer. he has a way of making things fun in the little time we have to do it in. And I think after haveing him for math I was use to his stile. I enjoyed this class bacuase I was chalenged and althouh I am no smarty pantes I know I learned something. I struggled because I realy and truefuly dont get things immeditly if I was that good I think I would of went to L.I.U. HAHA.

2. [Implemented plan] There is no plan when i called the colloege they said we will deal with it when needed to.
 * 1) [Location] I have no Evacuation location near me. The cloest place is New York Tech Colloege downtown brooklyn.

Your Evacuation Plan
If i had to evacuate with my family i will make sure i have all important information needed, and i will leave as early as i need to maybe even before just to make sure i have more then enough time to get where i am going. I will take some kind of mass transit and listen to the local news and stay away from all areas that are most dangerous. I will also make a family meet up plan in just in case we spilt up.

#1

 * 1) Summary – Based on the article the most popular case recorded on fossils being found is in kenya. With the chimpanes having similarities it has been hard to say who was living on earth first.
 * 2) Book Citation – It is remarkable how D.N.A can determine many facts espacaily when it has to do with learning about fossils and how old they are, And what kind of species the fossils come from.
 * 3) Personal Interest – I find it quite interesting bacuase I always felt like all people had some African in them maybe Iam right.

#2

 * 1) Summary – My essay consist on how scientist first decded a humans gedome in 2000.
 * 2) Book Citation – scientists has identified small portions in D.N.A that account for things such as why europeans and asians have pale skin tones.
 * 3) Personal Interest – I have always found it to be interesting how we can learn so much about a person but yet no one has answers to things. Such as me having a thyroid problem I have taken every test you can think of but yet my doctor still has no plan for me. Why waist so much time when we can determing so much right from the start. I feel that we can cure more then what we are doing for people.

#3

 * 1) Summary – My essay is based on the push to increase of the icebreakers in the artic.
 * 2) Book Citation – According to the National Academy of science the cost guard and others have warned the United States of the Icebreaking disaster which we know as Evolution.
 * 3) Personal Interest – I was never really interested in anything that has to do with knowing about when it is time to go although I know it is important and this day is going to come I beleive that Evolution could of been prevented but now may be to late as we can tell by what we know as the Icebreakers.
