Q1: After enrolling in a STEM school, one of grade 10 students
hesitated to continue in the STEM system due to the
challenging new lifestyle. Advise him/her by using three pieces of advice. * Personal Reflection/Team Collaboration
May some of grade 10 students hesitated to continue in STEM
school for many reasons: his comfort: From our school two students have been hesitated to continue in the STEM system because they use not to live without his family and far from home, so he suffers from that and it leaded to make him out of STEM system. My advice to him/her is to wait and it will be easy to step out of home for two weeks even it was very difficult and hard for them. You should try to make good friends to feal more comfort. and choose your roommates carefully to feel comfort with them. you may face problems in food, but it is normal because you used to eat your mother food. Other students were afraid from the amount of study and resources and references, actually me too, I was afraid from this and afraid from studying, fear from trying to study and fail. I had solved this problem by being brave and taking step, I know it is not easy, but it will be, believe me. And if you take the step and failed in study do not despair and continue studying, you will achieve your goal and you will find the way to study, the special way of you and you will great me then. Q2: In your capstone project you have to convert waste into valuable products for air pollution mitigation. Illustrate the type of pollutant you will work on and two different ways you hope this process will have a positive effect on the environment.* Using the Engineering Design Process (EDP) The theme of capstone this semester is to purifier and filter the air by using waste materials by doing treatment on it to be available to use in the purification, and do not pollute the environment. So, this is the challenge, we asked to make purification on the air by three ways physical, chemical and biological. We do much research on this theme to imagine the project as it is unusual from the last years as it was filtration on water. For real, I like this change because it is different from the last years. We collect enough information to choose solutions so we already make a comparison in solutions and finally we select our prior solution then we find that this solution meet the design requirements. The design requirements are to collect from 600 to 1500 ml and filter them, use three ways to filter the air (physical, chemical, biological). Use material that is not harmful to environment, make sure that 20% of the amount of air will purifier in 10 min so we must use sensors, after treat the waste materials to be available to use we must have samples of it to show the difference to evaluators. We find that the selected solution meets the design requirement so we started working on it, waiting for the results, I hope it success, Q3: genetically modified organisms (GMOs), genes, and DNA, seem less directly related to air treatment. However, there are still potential connections between biological concepts and air treatment, particularly when it comes to biological air filtration systems and genetic modifications used to improve air quality. 1.Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in Air Treatment: Bioremediation: GMOs can be engineered to help in bioremediation, a process where living organisms are used to clean up environmental pollutants in the air. For example, genetically modified bacteria can be designed to break down harmful chemicals in the atmosphere, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂). 4: (EN 2.02) In English you have been learning about writing for different audiences. Write a paragraph to your grade 10 mates describing the importance of following EDP to solve a challenge they face. * Learning Transfer Firstly, we all know that we must use scientific steps in capstone. Do you ask yourself why we should do that? There are many probabilities for the result, the project may success and it may fail. The advanced scientists set a specific steps for scientific research called Engineering Design Process (EDP). EDP steps: 1. Identify the problem We should identify the challenge that we asked to finde solutions for it. 2. Do background research: We should do enough research to understand the theme and imagine the project that we are working on. 3. Select some solutions that is related to the challenge It is important to do this because it helps us and it save time for creating the edits on it. 4. Make comparisons on the solutions to choose the selected solution that will be use in the project 5. Test the solution and show if it meets the design requirements or not. 6. If it meets the design requirements we should move to the prototype 7. If it does not, we should reselect prior solution and test it. 8. Finally building the prototype These processes are important in any scientific research for any project.
