Week 12

Overview

Today's lesson was run by us, the students. There were 3 presentations today by Air and Technology, Space Junk and Spacemen. All the presentations were in depth with one group (the spacemen) who managed to incorporate the some theories learnt in class to their solutions. On the whole, they followed a standard structure which is past, present and future development.

Interesting observation

• I did the first group did a good presentation, setting the standards high. They sort of came up with a mini skit which I thought was good as they seem prepared. However, the materials were does not have enough analysis and facts. I did not gain much from it but I must say that their webpages were awesome!!
• The second group on space junk, though simple but they were clear and concise. They identified the problem and tackle it in a very systematic way which was easy to follow. Also, I never knew that space junk could fall back to earth!!! That was something that scared me a little. I mean just imagine getting killed by a space junk!! Their solutions were in-dept too even though the presenter had to draw it out on the white board. But the fact that he wrote it out without much referencing shows that he has clearly processed the information.
• The last group was good in that they used theories from previous class to discuss about their issues and solutions. However, the webpage was way too wordy and halfway through, I was lost in their discussion. Oh and their videos was cool, i particularly liked the last one where they moved in slow-motion in sych with the music.

Key takeaways

• Space junk do fall to the ground and shooting stars may just be a space junk (how unromantic).
• with the rise in the number of population, there will be a limited of space for us to live in.
