Reflection of Service Learning Experience:

Science Night  

   In the beginning stages we had believe in our selves until we could not located our materials. On set up, we saw other stations looking more impressive. During, i was happy we were able to get  break time to time. 
My project was Electric Dough
   Other fellow workers we're having fun as well, this was the first time experience for many of us. Becoming a teacher for a few hours is not an easy task; love all my teachers and thank you for everything. Participants were excited and overjoy seeing science happen in front of there eyes.
    One kid, was actual really impressed with science that he claims that he want to be some type of science professor, wished i got his named. Many 4th graders actually knew the science behind our projects, which made me happy to see science influencing young minds. They told me their teacher was a science professor or major, so he influenced his kids to take an interest in science. They also learned that anything is possible some kids ask if we could used other materials in our project; like watermelons or potatoes. 
    Out of this, I can take away a better sense of group work. I am usually the type of person that will do everything myself and may group will always let me. But this time it was different they wanted to helped. In the future, I can use this because a Marine biologist that will work in a science lab and teamwork is necessary for me and having active partner is they key to my success.
This is how it looks by follows the process right.
    We had the kids formed a ball out of conductive dough; that allows the electricity to flow in one direction to light up a light. Then, have them place a wire into each one making sure the two pieces of dough do not touch. The kids close the circuit by placing a wire from an LED into each piece of dough, If the LED didn’t light up it was flip it around because the LEDs only allow energy to flow in one direction.
