Weekly Blog 03/06

Context:  I was surprised when I was gathering facts on my mineral. I was researching about my mineral on the provided resources
What: I was surprised when I saw that halite can produce hopper crystals. A hopper crystal looks like a skeleton of a crystal.
Why: It was surprising because I did not know minerals can make special types of crystals. 
Tells: This tells me I should research about something to learn more about the facts.

Summary:
I learned about the mineral I was studying- halite. I also learned some things such as its transparency
and how it makes crystals.


Backwards Looking: What problems did you encounter while you were working this week? How did you solve them? While studying halite, I encountered a problem. I had a problem finding the conductivity. I solved them by carefully checking every resource.

Inward Looking: What did/do you find frustrating about the work done this week? : I found finding the conductivity on halite frustrating. I also found the little space I had for the magazine and information frustrating, too.

Outward Looking: If you were the teacher, what comments would you make about your work this week? If I were the teacher, I would say I did a great job on gathering my info. I would say the same to my magazine, but I needed a better job on my background, and how I would make the magazine a bit better instead of just stating facts.

Forward Looking: What's one goal you would like to set for yourself for next week? My goal next week is to learn more about my mineral or more minerals. Also, another goal I would like to set is being accurate and fast in gathering info.
