Journal Page #15: Science Discovery Bucket List
A “bucket list” is slang for experiences or achievements you want to have or complete during your lifetime. This journal page is assembling your own “science discovery bucket list.”
List six science-related experiences or achievements you would like to have in your lifetime. Provide a brief description of each (1 through 6), including (a) what it is and (b) whether it involves exploration, description, explanation, or a combination of the three aspects of science discovery. It can be the life sciences or physical sciences and your resources are unlimited. Dream big.
Journal Assignments #15 & #16 are due Friday
Introduced in the Reflection & Planning section of this guide:
Journal Page #16: Learning Process
Select a course topic and use the five steps to access what you know about the topic, organize what you know, identify gaps in your knowledge, state how you could provide evidence of what you know, and plan to learn more.
For example, if the concept is “conifers” you could start by listing (and/or sketching) everything you can recall about coniferous trees, and it can be more than just “science” information. Next, you state how you would organize that knowledge, like you are organizing your own conifer exhibit in a museum. It could be by type of tree, how the trees are used, by tree features, etc. Then you would list things you do not know or are not sure about conifers, identifying gaps in knowledge. The fourth step would be how you could provide evidence of your conifer knowledge, possibly sharing it in some way, like taking family on a forest tree walk or posting labeled tree photos online. And finally, you would list future ways of encountering and learning about conifers.
Popular course topics for this journal page assignment have included: tide pools, succulent plants, fruit, flowers, and beavers. You can select any of the topics in this course, it may help to scan through the webpages as a reminder of topics covered.
For your selected course topic, you are turning in:
-
a list of what you already know about the topic.
-
how you personally organize information about the topic.
- gaps you have in your knowledge (concepts or skills) related to the topic.
- how you could provide evidence of what you know, to yourself and/or to others.
- how you can learn more about the topic in the future.
Compiled Journal is also due Friday
Introduced in the Reflection & Planning section of this guide:
Compiled Journal
Once you have finished all 16 journal pages, you are compiling the pages into a finished journal. Include at the front of your journal your name and the date of completion. Your journal may be papers, digital, or a combination of media. You are submitting evidence that the journal is completed. It could be the journal itself, a series of photos, or a video tour of the journal. If it is a large file like a Powerpoint file, you may want to submit it in PDF format. A large video can be hosted on a website, and the address can be submitted on Canvas.
Journal Page & Compiled Journal Directions
Three things to upload to Canvas.
Upload your two journal pages & journal to Canvas. If the files are really large, it may help to host it on a webpage and submit the web link to reduce upload time.
All three assignments are due by Friday 11:59 p.m. P.S.T. Once you have uploaded your two journal pages and evidence of the compiled journal, you have completed BI 101.
We will upload the final grades to Canvas this weekend and send a thank-you announcement.
