Reflect about The Hazards Fair: -Describe the experience -What went well? -What could have been better?

I felt that the Hazards Fair was a very valuable experience as I have learnt a lot and enjoyed it to the fullest degree. But I felt that the time was too short, and we didn't get to show everyone all our work to the fullest degree. I was quite surprised by the amount of knowledge that the Primary know about tectonic plates already. I felt that the presentation went extremely well, and we answered a large amount of questions with confidence and we weren't nervous at all. The presentation was detailed and it answered most of the audience's queries. What I felt could have gone better was the hands-on-activity, as it failed the first time. We could've made sure we had the right amount of baking powder to the flour, as we added to much flour and too little baking powder on the first one. I also felt that we should have brought a charger for a simulation of an eruption as my laptop ran out of battery. Luckily we had another laptop and we had to put two games on there instead of one. I felt that we could also draw more attention to the posters, booklets and the games as too much of their attention were directed towards the presentation and hands-on-activity only. I also felt that we could do something more to draw the people's attention towards our work, by making it more grand, majestic and outstanding from the others. But other than that, I felt that the Hazards Fair was a really invaluable experience that I would love to do again if I get the chance.

Hazards ELP

I think I will be choosing the volcano hazard since I have already done quite a lot of research on it and I find it a very interesting topic since volcanic eruptions are extremely rare. As an extension I would also like to discover more about supervolcanoes as it poses as an extremely catastrophic disaster if it ever erupts, as it might trigger other supervolcanoes all around the world.

Success Criteria:

1. To be able to devise my own ways of escaping a volcano.

2. To be able to skim and scan a detailed text, summarising it afterwards.

3. To be able to analyse and link between the different eruptions in history.

Describe what you still have to prepare to finalize your project by tomorrow.

We are halfway finished on one of the posters, we still need to add things on the second poster, and I just started on the study guide with most of the research finished on a Google Doc. I'm on my second page on my study guide but most of my research is done. We still need to get the equipment and resources for the hands on baking soda volcano activity, but we already have the websites for online activity for primary students. All in all, we're doomed.
