Skateboard research results

According to http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_was_skateboarding_invented, the skateboard is actually an adapted version of the surfboard, when the water got to cold and inconvenient. Since surfing is a form of entertainment, that means that so is skateboarding. However, surfers and surf pretty fast, but rely on the power of waves. On land, there are no waves, so human power is used, and in a very primitive way, unlike the complicated gear system of bicycles. So far, bicycle is still in the lead.

    An interesting subject Alex!! You have completed some interesting inquiry work so far. Do you think your survey is big enough to provide reliable results?

Learning Journal Guide

Your journal is the ongoing record of all the work you do throughout you inquiry. You should be writing reflections that comment on the process and the progress that you are making as an individual and as a team.

Each entry in your journal should include the following:

1. Description of what happened at the mentor meeting (if you had one that day)

2. Record goals/objectives for the upcoming week

3. Any idea/action carried out

4. Reflection on what you have done this week

Use the following as a guide for writing your reflections:

- What did you do?

- What did you think?

- What didn't you do?... and what could or should you have done?

- What decisions did you make as a group?

- What did yo decide to change and what are the reasons for making the change?

- Were there any problems? How did you deal with them? What did you learn about yourself? Which skills did you use well? (communication, social, thinking, research, self management?)

- What made you happy, annoyed, frustrated, angry, nervous disappointed, proud...?

- Where are you going next?
