Science Society – Reflection 1 (LO: 1)

LO: 1

Joining high school science society this year has been a great experience that has allowed me to learn many new and interesting things about science. Given that I take two sciences as part of my high school course, I find that this activity is a good way of exploring how my knowledge learned in school translates to more real-world applications. Additionally, we also explore many areas of science that I am unfamiliar with, particularly in physics and computer science. I find this quite refreshing as I am then able to see how the sciences that I take and do not take link together to form a larger web of information.

One aspect of the activity that I particularly enjoy is the discussions we have with other group members. Being able to talk to other people about their thoughts and ideas regarding new scientific advancements provides me with more perspectives and frames of thought. After learning about something new in the activity, I have found it beneficial to try and work through my newfound questions with another member to develop our understandings. Additionally, my skills in communication and the ability to work through an idea with new information have benefitted from this activity. As such, many prominent concepts and ideas in modern science have been introduced to me through this activity.

I have found this activity to be a wonderful experience of learning that has helped me realize both my strengths and identify my areas for improvement. In the future, I plan on joining another activity of this sort where I can explore science in the real world with other passionate students.

Table Tennis – Reflection 1 (LO: 5)

LO: 5

This year’s season of table tennis has been an enjoyable experience that has allowed me to learn new skills and form new relationships. My favorite part of this experience would certainly be the collaborative and competitive atmosphere when members played against each other. Since I had only played table tennis for a short amount of time prior to joining the activity, there were many areas of play that I could have improved upon. I found that playing against and working together with the other students was a major contributor to this, as we would suggest ways to fix errors and mistakes after each game. Additionally, we would also sometimes play doubles which required us to communicate and work together to face the opponent. Over the course of the season, as I attended more sessions and played more games, I found that the collaboration between members grew stronger and made it easier to help each other and play as doubled as our skills developed.

While the season may have ended, I still find myself applying the skills in communication and collaboration to other situations in my life. This experience has made me realize the importance of teamwork and how it becomes easier over time as we learn more about each person. In the future, I aim to find another activity where I will be able to apply these skills and develop them further.
