Intro
The purpose of this project is to put together all the topics we learned this unit on energy. During the process of creating this project we would have to learn the reasons for why our project functioned, relating to energy. For my project I decided to do a research paper on how a rail gun works.
Content
Kinetic Energy - the amount of energy held by an object due to its motion
Thermal Energy - the amount of energy held by an object due to the amount of heat
Potential Energy - is the energy of an object relative to others
Kinetics - the study of rates of chemical reactions and the mechanisms by which they occur
Reaction Rate - increase in concentration of a product per unit time or decreases in concentration of a reactant per unit time
Reaction Mechanism - series of steps by which a reaction occurs
Thermodynamics - tells us if a reaction can occur

Reflection
Working on the¨You Have The Power¨ project was something I will never experience again. Due to the quarantine there was no school. It lead to every student having to work at home and do the projects individually, without a group.
Things I did well during this strange project was persistence and creativity. Working on a project while in remote learning was difficult. Finding the effort to get up with out a motivator like school and work on a long project took a lot of personal motivation. However, I would work on it each day and work for several hours to complete my project. With a lack of team mates it was somewhat difficult to come up with ideas for the project. It took several days to come up with a project I liked and I could find myself researching. Eventually I found myself wanting work on a project dealing with the energy transfer of rail guns, despite it not exactly following the directions for the project.
Things I could have improved on was my work ethic. While I was working on my project I had a hard time continuously working on my project. I would take several long breaks when researching and writing. I additionally found myself having a hard time starting my project for the first few days. Another thing I could have improved on was self management. While working on my project the management of it could of went better. My time management could have been better, since I missed the first draft for the project and turned in the final project not on time. I also didn't have a routine to work on my project.
