Hello, on this I'll be doing my Galileo stoof.

Camp:
==Camp was… not so great, but it wasn’t too bad either. The beginning of scintillating journey began at the Serendip Sanctuary; we were greeted by emus and graced by whirling vortexes. The environment was fresh, almost crisp. As the children giddily rejoiced for relief from the tenacious motor transportation, many of our peers engaged in friendly banter and biological sustenance. After fulfilling our nutrition needs, the outgoing camp leaders steered the atmosphere of the group towards the idea of bush walk. Although there were some grumbles and groans, the majority of the assemblage thoroughly enjoyed the delightful stroll. Unfortunately, no distance of walking would prepare us for the horrendous, mountainous, tremendous, deadly, hazardous, death-defying, absolutely-physically punishing hike trail the following day.== ==After being reunited with the semi-igneous rock-like seating on our transports, we swiftly made it to the pre-arranged drop off site. All the hikers had to bear the burden of nearly 5 gallons. We soon made the discovery that hiking was not as enjoyable as it seemed. With our magnificent leaders, we battled from the horrific terrain and the fatal traps that attempted to prevent us on our journey. Even though many of our assemblage nearly fell prey to the fatal assaults, we successfully navigated the entire journey to our campsite without any casualties. The hike to our camp site was approximately 2 kilometres, as the crow flies.== ==As my fellow weary travellers constructed their domestic housing for the night, others scouted for suitable nourishment for our soon-to-be-blazing fire. The fellow campers gifted with minimal culinary expertise managed to create a rather dull but filling meal. After some scintillating games, the majority retired for the night. During the night time, the camp was restless, people moaned…==

==If I could’ve left an item, I would probably leave some of my clothes… I definitely had way too much! If I could’ve taken something to camp, it would be a jacket for the first night! I was so upset during the night when I was freezing to death but I managed to survive.==

Do school science classes actually prepare you for real science work? ==A discussion point raised at regular intervals concerns the fact that does school science prepare you for actual scientific research and practical work. Is high school science redundant to further scientific work? Or does high school science work really prepare you for a future of science? Without hesitation, I am in full agreement of the former.== ==You could relate high school to an appetizer for an evening meal. In high school, you are given samples of various subjects, you try some and you reject some. Only through experience, you will know which samples you wish to try again for your main course. The same applies for high school, university, future careers etc.… Science in high school is just simply another appetizer. We try it, some relish it, and some reject it. Basically, high school science is offered to us to see if we actually like science and wish to pursue it as our career.== ==A case in point, much of our high school science that we learn is basic knowledge, giving us an optimal, but minimal insight into science. We learn the basics such as the periodic table of elements and the scientific method, but what we are being taught are only the basics. To pursue a career in science, we must be committed and learn beyond what we are taught. Most of a scientist’s education is derived from university, seminars and extra classes.== ==High school science is much like… as said before, maybe, an ice-cream sample. We don’t have to pay for the ice-cream sample, but we get to taste it and see if we want to buy a cone. If we actually enjoyed to ice-cream, we would have to pay to buy more. This example above is synonymous to the focus question; high school science being the sample, and a career in science as the real deal, that we have to pay for in time and commitment .== ==In conclusion, even though last trail, we were told by the researchers; including Dr. James McCaw, that high school science does prepare you for a career in science, I actually differ on their point. I agree that high school does prepare you for a scientific career, but only by allowing you to sample what science is actually like.==

Week 5 reflection: Fairness week
==From this week I have managed to learn almost everything I wished to know about our Law system, democracy and communism! After many engaging discussion and exciting work groups I have found that our society is much more faulted that it appears on the outside. After watchin a television program on a primary school in China electing class captains, I found that not only is our society faulted, but ultimately our world is faulted aswell. The televios program was extremely entertaining and contained many darker sides of a communist society. It also showed the upbringing and environment of a child also severely affected the judgements and perceptions of that child later in life.==

Focus Question Week 5: Is Melbourne Fair?
==A discussion point rasied at regular intervals concerns the fairness of our general Melbournian society. Is Melbourne a town with impartial and unbiased people which fairly pass judgement on others? Or are the people of Melbourne riddled with favouritism and lack of perception? Without hestitation, I am in full agreement of the latter, and thus Melbourne not being fair.== ==Our world and our society are both strange places, but however there is no "fairness" in either of them. Why? Simple, I will explain "fairness" first. Fairness is an ideal, a concept, something that society strives to "achieve". But however, not matter what happens, if a concept or rule is made to be "fair", there will always be an unfair side. Yin and yang, light and darkness, earth and heaven, there have always been two sides of everything, and the ideal of fairness is no exception. A case in point; person A thinks that 3 apples for 4 dollars is a "fair" deal, person B thinks that 4 apples for 4 dollars is a "fair" deal. So if the shopkeeper either; A. Made the price of apples different for eveyone, that would definitely not be fair. B. Made the price of apples to match person A's concept of the "fair" deal, it would not be fair to person B, and vice versa.== ==Moving onto a more narrow area; Melbourne. Now Melbourne is no exception to the concept of fairness. When you walk around Melbourne Central, you will no doubtedly see homeless people begging. Well, it is obvious that society has not been fair to them and that they have been given the "unfair" side of soceity, (which some people DO see as "fair"). Now, one could argue that this homeless person has been deprived of basic human needs because of their own fault, but it is really just us. Us, as in the society, have dealt with this fault in what we have perceived as "fair". Consequently this has resulted in an "unfair" treatment towards the faulted.== ==One's upbringing and environment would also greatly impact on their perception and ideals. As many children in China are raised in a very harsh society, many chinese immigrants from the late 90s are almost "cruel" to their children as western people see it. However it is not the fault of these parents, but most likely as these parents were raised, they were in the same environment and circumstances. As they say; "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." In short, what some perceive as "fair" is reliant on their upbriging and environment, even their status.== ==In conclusion, Melbourne is definitely not a fair place, nor is anywhere else in the world. As there will always been an unfair side of a supposedly "fair" ideal or concept. Ultimately, fairness is a foolish ideal which cannot be achieved and would eventually come to no good result.==

My earliest memory of school is… (memories are in the past? Use ‘was’?) My earliest memory of school was when my grade six buddy bought me an ANZAC day poppy flower and gave it to me.

** I learn best when/by… I learn best when teachers explain concisely and with patience. **

My worst trait is… My worst trait is getting angry really quickly. ( Comes from my mother’s genes >.>)

My best trait is… My best trait is modesty, we all are modest aren’t we!? Nah, actually I can supress emotion very quickly.

I often wonder… I often wonder what other people are thinking.

The hardest thing I’ve ever done was… The hardest thing I’ve ever done was in grade 2, accepting that I’m not always right.

The last possession I would give up is… The last possession I would give up is something that isn’t mine and still needs to be returned. (Secret!)

This term I am looking forward to… This term I am looking forward to… Galileo.

What image would you put on a postcard of Melbourne? I would put a helicopter shot of the Docklands. I think the Docklands really represent to glowing and vibrant culture of Melbourne.

Which Melbourne person would you most like to sit next to on the tram? Zong from 8S2, ‘cus we’re married.

If you could invite any 3 people from history to dinner who would you invite? Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and Napoleon. These 3 people were not only great military leaders, but also great strategists. They made rapid decisions which resulted in tremendous results.

What do the test results say about you? I think the test results are a good summary of my nature and personality. The accuracy may be a little flawed but however have a general accurate judgement. 2. What strengths do the test results indicate you will bring to your team project? Being able to view my group’s problems and allow us to discuss and bring together an appropriate solution. 3. What challenges do the test results suggest you may face in your team project? Our group could easily fall apart due to little organisation. Furthermore, our group could suffer from long-term consequences from our immediate decisions.
