| My main activity during winter break. |
1.
It is
important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or
we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
- - I’m going to be honest;
I haven’t been very productive over break. The few things I did get done though
are a personal tally of how many hours I have spent on my first independent
component and also a sort of mental picture of what I want my second
independent component to be about.
2.
What
was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What
was the source of what you learned?
- - As I said before, I
thought about what I was going to do for my second independent component (I
want to do a complete reconstruction of a dinosaur of my choosing). My main
issue is thinking of what materials that I will use that will both be sturdy
and cheap. It occurred to me to look up what museums use to connect the bones
so I looked it up and found this FAQ (my source) and as it turns out they use
steel rods to connect individual bones. From this, I learned that whatever I do
I’m going to need strong but malleable wire, which is important because the
frame work of my dinosaur needs to be able to bear the weight of what I do on
top of it and not bend the frame inward.
3. Your
third interview will be a 10
question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?
- - For my third
interview, I’m planning on talking to Gabriel Santos, museum collections manager
of the Raymond M Alf Museum, because he is currently studying a type of ocean
hippo which means that interviewing him would allow me to probe his studies and
to find out what type of analyses push his research along more.
