Final touches on the presentation

I am just about finished the project.  It has been a really long time and lots of hard work.  I learned so much about oysters over the past few months.  I never realized just how important they are are for the health of the Chesapeake Bay.  Not only that but I also learned about setting up and posting on my science blog, video editing, taking pictures and time lapse.  I also used lots of tools which was kind of cool.

Creating the Report

My dad is teaching me how to use a program called iBooks Author.  Its really cool...its not that hard...its just like using Apple pages which I use all the time for my other classes.  One thing that is new on my iPad is the ability to put it into "Guided Access Mode"  this will be great so that nobody can jump around and start playing video games instead of reading about the experiment.

Building the presentation

Even though I have had experience using a saw from building my pinewood derby cars in cub scouts I still do not like saws.  Even with the ear protection they kind of scare me.  My dad really helped me out and he told me a fun story about how his dad helped him build a cabinet for his science project when he was a kid.  The most important thing to remember is to use proper eye & ear protection.
