R.J. Frank Middle School Presentation

Today I had a presentation at R.J. Frank Academy of Marine Science and Engineering to show them my capstone project and tell them a little about college in general. Overall they were pretty receptive, especially when it came to an activity, which I created for them. The activity was to somewhat give them a taste of what my project is like. I had this cartoon version of Santa Rosa Island printed out on 11″ x 17″ sheets of paper and introduced their “target” on my powerpoint slide which was the Italian Thistle plant. I had several “copycat” plants that looked similar but stressed that they should keep in mind the three characteristics of the plant. They all did very well with only one or two groups making minor mistakes.
