Kwan Hou’s Reflections This Science Trail has definitely given me quite an exciting and thrilling experience because it allows me to personally experience myself and explore the plants and their parts hands-on myself. It is definitely a novelty to get to do these hands-on experience and I hope that I can get to participate in more of these Science Trails. It has indeed enlightened me a lot as it allowed me to get to know about the variety of plants and their names which enriched my knowledge and curiosity towards nature. This also allows me to know the wide variety of plants our school has. This is surely an excellent opportunity for learning for everyone.
TsaoHarn’s Reflection I think that this ACE project is meaningful to me as I have known more about other flowers and plant species that I rarely see in my daily life. Through these close observations of these flowers and plants, my interest in these beautiful living things has became stronger too. In the future, if I have the chance, I would like to work on such ACE projects too, since I would have more opportunities to be in close contact with these plants and flowers that we normally do not look closely on. Lastly, this ACE project let me known much more things about these plant species, and also their anatomy.
Bryan’s Reflection Overall, I feel that this project is beneficial for me because it gives me a hands-on chance to handle real flowers instead of just learning about them. Our lessons would have been too boring if we were to just read notes and do worksheets all day. If I have a chance, I would do another Science Project like this again even if I do not choose Science as a subject for ACE
