My Wellness Prezi

Considering Perspectives

• I was born in Hong Kong, but I've never lived in Hong Kong before. 
• I've lived in Singapore my whole life. 
• English was my first language. 
• I speak Mandarin, English, and Cantonese. 
• I have two older brothers, I'm the youngest in my whole family. 
• I dislike public speaking, I fear failure. 
• I enjoy listening to music, dancing, and hanging out with friends. 
• I play the piano, and I just got back into dancing. 
• I love eating. I also enjoy traveling. 
• My favourite countries include: Singapore, Los Angeles, Japan, and London. 
• I absolutely dislike creepy crawlies.   
• I enjoy writing and reading. 

Having lived in Singapore my whole life, I haven't really been exposed to moving as much as others may have. Though I've only lived in one country my whole life, I do travel a lot. While traveling, I'm exposed to a lot of different cultures, one country that's culture and lifestyle was quite different from Singapore's was New York. Since I do have family back in New York, I was still exposed to the different lifestyle. Living in Singapore with many different cultures, I guess staying in New York and not seeing all the different races was kind of different. But having to try all the foods in New York was not a new experience as we had easy access to those types of food in Singapore. Having two older brothers who took very different majors, this helps me look at my future in a different way. Which brothers' footsteps will I follow? I enjoy listening to bands, and these bands come from many countries. So when listening to their music they may include slang or phrases that I may not understand, so I may take these lyrics in a different point of view. Living in Singa -

Astronomy Parents' Blog Post

Something that my dad learned was that there isn't any proof as to seeing life forms in our galaxy. Another thing that my dad learned from my lab lesson is that NASA has been using the Hubble Telescope to take many of the amazing pictures of the galaxy that we've seen everywhere. My dad thought that I could've been a bit more confident towards my topic, but still showed confidence throughout my presentation, he thought I needed to do a bit more practice, without looking at my notes too often. One question that my dad had was how long would it take to make a suitable and most accurate telescope in order to find life on the galaxies?

Project Adventure Reflection

Throughout our class period today, I feel as many of the task roles have showed throughout my group. I think for myself, the task roles that would best represent me would be the helper. I also feel as everyone in my group including myself also share the task role of the brainstormer/initiator. In class today I showed the task role of the helper, especially when I helped by collecting all of the needed equipment. For example, I went to the equipment area to collect dodgeball, hula hoops, jump ropes, and spots. By doing this, I quickened group movement by helping and doing things for my group. At the beginning, I helped collect all of the equipment, and helped place the right materials in the right area. Another situation where I showed the task role as the helper was when I helped collect all of the dodgeballs that were all scattered around the field, as well as the coloured spots. Though the whole group showed this task role all together, I showed the task role of being a brainstormer/initiator, as well as the rest of my group because once we were playing one round of our new game, we all knew that something was wrong and that we had to change something. Once I realised what we had done wrong, I made the suggestion of putting more dodgeballs, and putting them closer to the obstacles in order to make the game easier and more fair. One task role that I want to work on next class is the encourager, though our group mainly agreed on most of the suggestions, I feel as we lacked a bit of encouragement, so I would like to work on this factor a bit more. Overall, I feel as in today's class I showed the task roles of the helper, and a bit of the brainstormer/initiator.  

Science Burning Question Reflection

We have just recently started our astronomy unit, and was asked to come up with a burning question that interested not only you, but as well as your partners as well. Our burning question is Can there be other living forms in our galaxies' goldilocks zone, if so why are we not aware of them? This interested me because over the years I've always known about the galaxies, but weren't truly aware of how the galaxies work. Another thing that interested me is life forms being in the galaxy itself, I saw that there have been many debates over life forms in the galaxies but we never seemed to have the answer as of how or what type of life forms, so that really inspired us to do a bit more research. Something that we are still quite confused about relating to our burning question is whether there are actually living forms in our galaxies. We have done a little bit of research relating to it, but haven't gotten a clear answer. We've seen traces of fossils on one of the planets, we've seen that there might be a few other civilisations in the Milky Way. Other than that there hasn't been much of an answer as to whether there have been a trace of life forms. In order to get these answers we will continue to doing more research, and find a lab/lesson in order to help our understanding of the galaxies and it's life forms and in order to help the audience understand our topic more. We need to do a bit more research, and find more details that we could connect to each other in order to find the answer.

Always With The Questions

Now that I have finished my research and observation, I have a few questions and a few things that I still want to know about my animal. I think that one question that I have is why are white faced sakis more likely to show aggressive behaviours towards other species/primates instead of other males? As I researched, I found out that male white faced sakis don't have as much interaction with other males in the wild, due to the fact that they are usually found in family groupings. But when I was at the zoo, they were grouped as band, and didn't show aggressive behaviour toward each other, instead showed it to the lemurs. How has living in the wild, in a family grouping affected them when moving to the zoo or into captivity? Another question that I have about white faced sakis is how do they defend themselves, for example since they have canine teeth do they use their teeth? As I continued on in my research, I didn't really find much about how they actually fight. So my top two questions is why are white faced sakis more likely to show aggressive behaviours towards other species/primates? And the other questions is how do white faced sakis defend themselves while fighting? If money and time were not an issue, something that I would do to find out the answers is fly myself to northern & central South America and watch white faced sakis in the wild, instead of watching them in captivity. While in the wild, I would like to watch white faced sakis in their natural habitat and in a family grouping. I think that during my stay, I would also want to watch some male on male behaviours if there were any, or I would also like to see how white faced sakis fight. I think that with unlimited money I would like to see what their canines look like up close, since I wasn't able to see any pictures of them. I think that by going into the wild to watch their behaviours up close would really answer my questions. I think this because when other primates come into their territory, the dominate gender which is the male will most likely defend their territory and family. And if there were two dominate males, I would be able to see why they are not very likely to fight. All in all, I hope to find the answers to my questions very soon.
