Microscopes
We decided on the design of a full microscope because we wanted to challenge ourselves as a group, because everyone would be using a cell phone case. We decided to make microscope design school spirit to bring in the nice design of our school. The research was a big part in this project because a lot of the files did not work during the process of making this project. The hardest flaw we had is that we redesign our microscope a lot because for full microscopes it did not work or the people that created the template did not respond to our email so we could not have started our microscopes until later on, painting was a easy part of the project.
Final Microscope
Photographs
We decided to take this photo because we wanted to the message of the project which is perspective. We used a normal leaf because I feel we take advantage of their beauty, we walk everyday through grass and trees that we don't take a second to look at how nice they make our school look. We had the idea of the perspective project to look deeply into the beauty of something and zoomed in through our microscope could change the way it looks through a different lense. In perspective project we learned to value a lot of the appearances that things are originally made from or people born with a flaw that they cant change. As the leaf it was made to be green so we looked at the leaf deep from the inside that it looks like it has sap, and a lot of reflective light.
General Biology (Health)
A perk of having Biology is learning about 'human health'. What I liked about these lectures was the talk about people and how could of drugs effect the body or mind. The drugs from the lecture was that with a partner we do deep research of a certain drug so we can present to the whole class what we learned about our drug, such as what it does, and how does it actually effect our bodies if we take these drugs. The research was useful because I learned how to look up good and quick to present to the whole class new facts. What also stood out to me during the health part of my health was the fact the Planned Parenthood comes to do 6 lectures on sexual education, such as how to look out for yourself during sexual activity or how to use the resources that they offer for better health purposes. What really helped during health class was how it really connects with young teens that have all these things surrounding us but we are never educated on how to avoid certain thing like drugs,aids,alcohol, obesity, and mutations that can be avoidable.

Final Lab
The final lab was different from how we usually take test in Biology. This was a test in other words how well do you know Biology from old lectures and how well can you work with random selected people to start working on one final experiment to end the semester. I feel like my group did great for this part of the project we all did our contribution as a group we all brought good facts and ideas to the work table. The only challenging part of this whole lab really was the second question for us because we all decided to combine all of answers knowing that not all of us know how does the heart pump blood. Overall, I feel like I did my part as a team member we all did the experiment the same so we know that our numbers wouldn't be wrong. We all did good on our group we all did a good job on tracking a heart beat, and knowing what do for our experiment. This was one of my favorite experiments to end the year overall so i'm glad we ended with this lab.
