This week in science we did a mission challenge with jelly beans. Our mission challenge is to categorize the jelly beans by dichotomous key. We had to draw out a chart with different questions to put each type of jelly bean in different categories. My group and i asked questions like, does the jelly bean have spots? or is the jelly bean dark in color?(etc). After we finished the dichotomous key, we had to copy it onto a big piece of chart paper and then we got to eat the jelly beans.
I didn't make any errors this week, but my group and i had a little trouble getting things done fast. When it was time for us to present our charts, my group and i had just started writing things down. We didn't have enough time to finish the chart, but we did all of the work. Also, i had an aha moment when i realized how easy the dichotomous key. When i first saw it, i thought it was kind of difficult, but once david explained it to us, it was easy.
