I think the biggest challenge was first getting past being a 7th grader, then deciding what your going to do and what “group” you want to be in. It was also really hard to be standing up in front because most of the time people would ask you a question that you wouldn’t get to answer. I enjoyed being able to represent a country, debate and in a way help out. It was fun to argue with others about what you think is right and to try to convince others to be on your side. There are a few things that I got out of it, but the most was how poor and unstable other countries are and how much we take for granted. Some of their problems we never think about it because we just have it all the time like water, food and shelter. Warmth and safety and all of those things that we never need to worry about.

What I learned:

1. That there is so much life in one drop of water, I am never drinking water from a lake or pool

2. I learned that the sun/weather makes a big difference in the data, if it was sunny, all of the data probably be different

3. That the bottom temperature of Lake Michigan never changes from 4 degrees

What I wondered:

1. Why we don’t take those tests once each day for 3 day. Because that would help a lot because one day it could be cold and the next warm

2. Why we need to count the blood worms
