Blog 10 ( Senior Project Update)

  Senior Project Update

(1) What are you currently doing in your independent component?  

I am currently doing more research and prepping to start collecting data for the Science fair I should have the data in about a week or two. I've also been writing in and updating my science fair journal.

(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project?  The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November.  Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.  

The piece of research that I reviewed and helped me to get a little bit further in my Senior Project was an article Posted in the New York Times called : When should a child be ready for Kindergarten, In this article I learned a child is deemed ready / eligible when they can rationally differentiate between fruit and money, I also learned that in the 15 and 16th century children were deemed eligible when they could act rational. This is where the Idea of the Birthday? Birth year came to existence from these principles of the people from the 15th and 16th century.

(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did.  For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.  http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/03/magazine/03kindergarten-t.html?adxnnl=1&pagewanted=all&adxnnlx=1354338076-/tjsNInLLu7vb2FSjOnFNg
