It is insane how much plastic we make. It is true that to solve a problem we must first understand what we are dealing with so we can come up with the right solution that will fix or better help the situation. In the video a question is asked. The question is whether the solution to reducing plastic will benefit both people and the planet? The answer to this question is yes absolutely because plastic in oceans is harmful to ocean wildlife and it dirties the ocean itself. Plastic on land is not good unless it is in it's proper place such as a recycling bin or the trash. Reducing plastic will benefit more than just the planet and humans, it will also benefit the animals and will help make Earth a cleaner and safer place to live on. Can we come up with a proper solution to this problem? New technology, will it reach everyone? Can it be shared to everyone? The solution must be something that is scalable and accesible so that more people can participate because it is cheaper and therefore be able to help the planet and it's inhabitants more easily!

As of 2020 we have been relying mostly on fossil fuels for the powering of our country but we can not rely on fossil fuels for much longer as it is running out. The best energy source to use is renewable energy as you do not need to keep buying fuel to make electricity, the only thing necessary is lots of wind and sunlight. It is a more efficient way to obtain the resources that we need because it is far more safer and cleaner than burning fossil fuels. 

"Florida has experimented with wind energy on a very small scale—as in creating turbines to power electric cars—but the state hasn’t yet embraced the full capabilities of this energy source. This is mostly because winds in the state don’t generate enough consistent force, so the only workaround is to use turbines that tower more than 600 feet above the landscape—the types that have faced opposition in other states." As it says here in this quote from an article I found online, we can see that Florida cannot exercise their full capacity in developing many wind energy products and developments because there isn't enough consistent force in the winds that we obtain but if we did have enough consistent force many more developments would be made with the wind energy. With all the engineers and scientists here in Florida the possibilities for the machines and creations that would be made are endless!

Climate change is downplaying everything, making everything worse. Along with climate change, many areas still do not have clean water. If there is a desalination plant you are guranteed safe and clean water as long as there is sea water to desalinate but the process to desalinate takes a lot of energy, time, and money because there would be a need to advocate for this solution and not many have the proper abilties for that. Desalination alone cannot fix the whole situation, there needs to be an involvement of other resources. Desalination can and will help but alone it will never fix the whole problem, it must be implemented along other solutions. With so many situations in the world, this problem where there are many dry areas without water just adds to the already full list of worldy situations. The process by which clean water will be obtained will manufacture itself further as time moves on so we will see what is to come with the situations and solutions.

Science shows many things. 
Everything that we have today in this world started out as something and with time expanded into something greater. That is how life is. Life evolves, it never stays the same. Everyone and everything ages over time. Change is good and bad, but it is never still. Everything is destined to change and there is beauty in change. Things may be one way while others can be the same or different. 

Before I took this PSC course, I had a general idea about science. I enjoyed sciene for the most part, I definitely like it more than math and English because it is very interesting to me to learn how everything came to be so I also love history. I had taken a class like this last semester with the same teacher and enjoyed the class and the teacher. My expectations for this class were very high in terms of me liking, learning more, and thoroughly enjoying my time in the class and the class isn't even over and I already do not want it to end. I came into the class not knowing what to expect and am going to finish with more knowledge than ever, knowledge that will never leave me thanks to the way it was taught and how amazing it is.

During the course I felt good. I looked forward to the class and enjoyed doing the work. When I saw this assignment I literally said to myself "This is going to be fun." mostly because I love writing and expressing myself especially if it is from a class I enjoy. During all our activities I learned so much about what is going on in our world and was able to write about these problems. My experience was different from what I expected only because I came with the expectation that this class would be the same as the last class I took with the same teacher. As I saw, this class is fromatted differently but I actually liked the way this class was and actually liked it more than how the last class was so in this case I am glad that this class wasn't how I expected it to be. 

In conclusion, after I would complete the assignments, I would leave with all the information in my head and until now I have not forgotten and that is because it was taught well. Now that the class is coming to an end, I can give a full thorough analysis on how I feel about the class. I feel good, I feel like this was one of the best classes I have and will ever take. The teacher, the way the course is designed, the activities can never be replicated by anyone. This class is one of a kind and anyone who takes any class like this will be lucky to have the chance to do so. Like I said, this class is ending soon and I really hate that. When you love a class time flies quick, but when you hate a class, time moves so slow. I wish it were the other way around so I could enjoy the classes I like more and learn more but everything always comes to an end, that is life. I will never forget this class, and will always remember everything that was taught to me and how well it was taught to me.
