Overall this project has been a great experience for all of us. We learned a lot about the research we conducted and about the service project we did as well. Through our research on Sea otters, we learned that sea otters are some amazing creatures that make a very positive impact on the environment. We learned about the issue: Sea otters as an endangered species. We learned about what causes them to become endangered. 1. Oil spills. 2. Shark attacks. 3. Humans. 4. More. We learned about the consequences of them being endangered: 1. Destruction of kelp forest. 2. loss of diversity of species. 3. How it affects humans. We learned about the possible solutions to the issue? 1. Reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever you can. 2. Dispose of hazardous wastes properly. 3. And more. We also found some really cool news stories that highlighted this issue. As far as the service project, everybody did a great job of doing what we needed to do as a group to complete the service. The service project we did was a great overall experience for all of us to be able to create something great for the kids at Glenside elementary school, as well as hoping they have are able to learn something about the designs we created that highlight some of the things they have been learning about in class. This took a lot of time and effort to complete but we were able to get it done and are all very happy, not only that we were able to complete the service but also that we were able to give back to the community. In conclusion this was a great overall experience for all of us and we are so glad that we were able to participate in such a cool experience but also give back to the community.
I personally loved the topic you chose for your research because I love sea otters. They’re so cute! And also, you did a great job on the side of the shed!
