One of the most beneficiary attributes that this semester of science had in my mind is happened at my table. There is a student called Marc Goupil who sits at the table next to me. He went to Almond with me, and when I saw him, I saw what a nice guy he was. However, I could never get to him, because he was in a different class and had many other friends. The same thing happened last year. This year though, when he sat at my table and realized that I was interested in a lot of the things he was interested, he readily became my friend. If I hadn’t gone to science with him, then maybe this friendship would never have occurred.
An exceptional activity we did this quarter is the labyrinth assignment. I really enjoyed this because I like mazes and a labyrinth is a close relative to a maze. I built a very complicated labyrinth out of foam core board, which took me a long time to make. It was messy, but fun and when I had finished with it, everybody was amazed. We were supposed to make a labyrinth that you could fit your finger in, but I messed up with the measuring so it was twice as small as my original plan. This triggered ideas running through my head, and I used this one: I had once found a pile of ball bearings spilt all over the floor. I found the bag they were in, picked one out, and tried rolling it around in the labyrinth. It worked! I created a working model of one of those plastic mazes on soap bubble bottle caps. Both my parents and my teacher were excited to see this masterpiece. I am glad we did this project, because now I have something to show off to my friends that they don’t have!
Overall, I think that this semester in science was very fun, and I hope that when I move over to Mr. Schneider (or will it be Weitz?) it will be just as fun, or even better. As a new teacher, I think Mr. Heroux improved greatly since the beginning of the year, and I thank him for his time and patience with our class.
