Teresa's Reflection

Reflection on science class: 12/14/07

Today went well for me. I got alot of work done for the museum. Me and the other people in the mutations group worked on a model of how cells mutate and how cells can become mutated. I also contributed a large concept map showing the definition of mutation and how it occurs. Thanks to the fact that we had a double period of living environment today, I was able to really concentrate on my work and make sure everything was as perfect as possible.

I suppose my concept map could use some improvement. Maybe I could have put up some pictures to show examples of mutation, or used more color. As for the model of mutation, I really don't see any major flaw. I think it's good the way it is. It describes the process of mutation perfectly using creative visualization.

Throughout the process, I learned alot about cells that I did not know before. I didn't know that mutations had different types, or that high temperatures can contribute to mutation in cells.
