Through
this Biology performance task, I find the force-fitting strategy rather
interesting as this is the first time I have employed this approach to create a
product. I find the process beneficial as it helps to trigger my imagination,
invoke creativity and helps me to conceptualise what I want to create from
scratch.
This
performance task also underscores the importance of collaboration with our
group members. As our organisms are inter-related to each other in the food
web, we need to work together with our group members closely to ensure that our
food web is sustainable. For instance, we need to mutually agree on the types
of roles for our respective organisms such as producer, decomposer, herbivore,
carnivore or omnivore.
I
also learn to be open to improvements suggested by my group members and to incorporate
changes to my organism as I obtain more information through my research. For
example, initially, my organism has long legs as I thought long legs will
enable it to run at a fast speed. However, with the information that the
habitat experiences strong wind, I decided to shorten the legs of my organism
as this will allow the organism to be closer the ground to minimise the impact
of strong winds.
As
in any group project, it can be rather challenging dealing with group dynamics.
However, our group members adopt an open stance towards suggestions and
maintain mutual respect for each other which help in the entire process. In
conclusion, this performance task has made the learning of Ecology more
interesting, interactive and lively.
