1) I'm most proud of the way I handled my presentation. I feel like i was very comfortable while presenting and didn't have any worry. This helped with the confidence in the results of my presentation.
2a) AE
I feel that I met the requirements for the presentation and that I exceeded the expectations of teaching and applying information. Viewers left understanding the bit of nanotechnology that I taught them.
2b)AE
Even though I haven't gotten the most desirable grades throughout my senior project I feel this is because of an unfair grading system. I was being judged by some one who told me that they have a hard time understanding my topic. I don't understand how some one who can't understand something can make important judgements on it. I feel that I've met the requirements for proficiency, despite what grades may say, and have overall surpassed them in regards to the fact that my presentation was very successful and that I have learned more than I could possibly imagine.
3) The best thing that worked in my senior project was the switch of my essential question. This gave me something to take the knowledge I had gained and apply it to something. It provided further direction in my project.
4)Research and the way I was graded. I don't understand how some one can judge whether a research article is legitimate or not. If I find something of importance in it then who would that person be to say that it's not a very useful article. Being graded on whether or not my train of thought could be seen also doesn't sit well with me. To start, just because someone can't understand my thoughts doesn't mean another person can't; second, I think in about fifty different places at one time so people shouldn't be expecting me to only focus on one thing when I'm capable of doing things much more complicated.
5) My senior project has primarily showed me the importance of progression in technology. It has also showed me what fields of science I would want to possibly stay away from if I decide to pursue a career in science. The overall perk of my senior project has been somewhat of a motivation to use my imagination and make things become reality.

Answer#3
EQ: What is the best way to make combat armor using nanotech carbon fibers?
Answer: The best way to make combat armor is using nanotube textiles to create a full body exoskeleton.
Evidence:
Facts-
1. Nanotubes are very flexible and carry over that property when turned into a fabric.
Ex: An elastic fiber that never loses shape.
2. Nanotube's tensile strength multiplies when woven into a textile.
Ex: One nanotube alone can withstand a bullet of carbon and absorb the energy throughout its body.
3. Electronics can be incorporated into nanotube textiles because of its conductive capabilities.
Sources: Will be added later

Room Creativity
1: Since I am now look at different types of combat armor, I was considering making the room look like some sort of shooting range. Different types of mannequins or target boards would be displayed by either being suspended or posted on the walls.
2:I have absolutely no idea for any activities yet. Since EQ has changed I'm kind of baffled as to which route to take now.

Answer 1
My EQ is : What is most important to consider when trying to create carbon nanotubes?
1) The most important thing to take into account when creating nanotubes would be the graphene that is being used. The graphene must be solid and with little defects. In order to assure that the graphene is suitable, the process in which it is created must be greatly dependable.
2) i. Carbon Vapor Desposition: From my interview with my service learning contact I learned that the temperature in this process can either make or break the graphene.
ii. Amount of other chemical in Chemical Vapor Desposition: I believe Hydrogen is the chemical that My service contact was using. If too much hydrogen is used in the process then it evaporates the carbon. If there is too little then the carbon doesn't form at all. It takes a certain amount, depending on the host or amount of carbon to get the graphene to form.
3) My sources are my service learning contact, via Interview 2, and this article that my contact sent me to get a better understanding of the process.

Note: This will be heavily changed within the next week. I haven't had the chance to meet with my contact so I am planning to speak with him and go over my knowledge of the topic.

Presentation and Reflection
1. In what way did the first interview affect your presentation? Please explain, be specific and use an example.
- My conversation with Ryan Albanese covered a lot over welding. The main thing that helped my presentation was my understanding of the differences between soldering, welding, and brazing. I already understood what went on in soldering, but welding and brazing were still just a tad unclear. His explanation of brazing gave me the understanding and the confidence to speak about the differences in each topic. What i learned from him allowed me to give a more detailed explanation of brazing, which is one of the more complicated of the three to explain.
2. What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?
- I feel a few things actually stood out. My visuals were quite clear on what i was talking about and relevant to each individual topic. Also, i could have kept going in my presentation and I feel that is an important factor in this situation. I felt I was explaining my topic quite thoroughly, perhaps too much, because i ran out the time.
3. What was the most challenging to do and why?
- The most challenging part was trying to fit in all my information to just 5 minutes. Asking questions seemed to be really easy. I probably could have even only explained the difference between soldering and welding and met the time requirement. I think i overdid it with the stuff I was going over, so I'll have to beware of that for the next presentation.
