Context : I was experimenting with magnets when I was surprised.
Surprise: I was surprised when I discovered that magnets were strongest at the poles
Why: I was surprised because I thought magnets had the same magnetic force anywhere
Tells: This tells me that I should experiment more before I make conclusions.

Summary: This week, I learned about magnets. I also learned that they were strongest at the poles, and that they could destroy and ruin devices if they connect to it.

Backwards Looking:

What resources did you use while working this week? Which ones were especially helpful? Which ones would you use again? I used a magnet, a paperclip, washers, and household materials(spoons, cups, rulers, wood, book, etc.). A magnet was very useful along with the paperclips and washers. I want to use those next week.

Inward Looking:

Have you changed any ideas you used to have on this subject? How/Why? I had the idea of using computers to research about the magnets. Now I changed my idea of not using computers, because magnets can destroy devices and hard drives. 

Outward Looking:

 What grade would you give yourself? Why? I would give myself an A. I would give myself an A because I know I did a good job on the experiments and filling/turning in the sheets.

Forward Looking: 

What's one goal you would like to set for yourself for next week? A goal I will set for myself next week is collaborating a bit more with my classmates. I would set this goal because I think I did not collaborate as much as I wanted to.
