This year in Mrs. Gray’s science class, I had the most fun. However, I did not have fun only because science is my favourite subject, but also, because Mrs. Gray’s science class is well-organized and includes the most awesome materials and projects. It has always been my dream, until I came to Egan, to be able to fiddle with flasks, test-tubes, and chemicals alike. Now, at Egan, it has all happened. My dream has come true!
Science has also taught me a few useful skills in some of its projects. First, while we were doing the digestive tape project, we had to use teamwork to be able to finish it in time. The procedure went as follows: while Danny held one end of the tape and Andy held the other, I walked along it with a meter stick and counted off how long it was. After that was finished, we used teamwork to colour in the tape. As Andy held the tape, and restrained it from rolling up, I drew the intestine. Danny coloured it pink behind me, and I added brown after him. Finally, to roll it up, I had to put one end of the tape on the table (to make it go on the roll straight) and roll it up at one side of the room, Andy had to stand on the other side of the room with a pencil that acted like a pulley, and Danny held the other end of the tape on my side, getting closer to Andy as I got farther and farther into the seemingly interminable process. Generally, this digestive tape project required an enormous amount of teamwork, and without it, my group and I would have probably not finished it in time.
This quarter, in science class at Egan, I gained a lot of knowledge about skills like teamwork, research and many, many others that I wouldn’t be able to fit on the remainder of this page. I greatly thank Mrs. Gray for her never-ending perseverance and love toward her students and work. Without Mrs. Gray, science would have been a failure.
