Science
For this quarter in Science we have a project where we should take care an animal in 4 weeks with an artificial ecosystem done in groups. My group member is Caca and Jeremy, and we got to take care an caterpillar. It was a challenging project we have, because we should often observe them, take care of them (food supplies, cleaning their habitat, etc), and we should make sure it is a life for 4 weeks, if their dead our score will be minus.
I think keeping the caterpillar would be challenging, it is tough. Because caterpillars are small, weak, and doesn't even look interesting. My group get a very small caterpillars and it died in 5 days because of starvation. So we change the type of the caterpillar called wax worm. Wax worm are much more better, because they are easy to keep, they are strong, their food is not complex and more. Even though is a hard and challenging project, it is actually a fun project.

Reflection
I think this project is both fun and challenging. It is fun for me because take caring of animals and observe them how it grows it is just fun. But it is challenging because we should keep them a live which is hard, we should provide food, good habitat, and more to keep them a live. I did put much effort in doing this project by observing them a lot of time to know their growth and to make sure they are happy and still alive. But there are some of my caterpillar died, so the improvement I should make is to make a more suitable and comfortable habitat for the caterpillar to keep them alive.
The IB learner profile would be reflective because we research deeper when something happen to the caterpillar. Such as the death of the caterpillar we reflect it by finding out why it died, we also research how to make the caterpillar happy in their habitat. We also reflect on our improvement should be make.
