Checkpoint 2:
Guiding Question or Challenge Statement
What is the one question which will guide this process of discovery and work? Or, what challenge will you be attempting to complete? For example: How does rock music effect the brain?
how does hammering hot metal change the metal chemistry?
Why do I care?
You have a limited amount of time on the worldβwhy is investigating this project worth the effort given your current goals? For example: I am interested in neuroscience and I am curious about how music can affect the brain and its function.
i'm interested in blacksmithing and i'd like to know what happens when i hammer and heat up a hot piece of metal
List 4 things you'd like to learn or be able to do by the end of this project.
Most projects can cover a wide variety of science and humanities topics. Identify 4 skills and be ready to talk about them in your first Expert meeting for this project. The Experts will work with you to incorporate these.
- explain what happens when you heat up a piece of metal
- explain what happens when you hammer a piece of metal
- make better knives when i know what i'm actually doing to the chemistry
- teach other people how to make knives and explain what my project taught me
What 4 skills from the Wiki do these items translate to?
Most projects can cover a wide variety of science and humanities topics. Identify 4 skills and be ready to talk about them in your first Expert meeting for this project. The Experts will work with you to incorporate these.
- knifemaking hobbies
- chemistry (properties of elements)
- why metal gets soft when you heat it (heat reactor)
- what happens to the chemistry when you heat/hammer it
