Make Cycles one and two were both very similar in that we were relating what science is viewed as compared to what it actually is. For make cycle 1, we found creative ways to represent ourselves, either with words, physical representations or pictures. Make cycle 2 was harder because we now had to think outside of the box by noticing scientific observations of the world compared to how we narrate scientific knowledge. We completed field experience one pagers to help us get an idea of how the outer world views and does science.
For my make cycle 2, I chose to draw a picture of things we normally wouldn't think of as science in a place where we would normally "do science", such as a science laboratory. In retrospect, I wish I'd have done more research on scientific laws so that I could better tie the idea of all the science that surrounds us to the idea of what We typically consider science. However, I am happy with my Make cycle 2 because I find it pleasing that my project was rhetorical in that a laboratory is a place where we typically think of carrying out scientific activities, and I was able to point out all of the other science taking place that we don't normally think of.
I like this concept of pointing out places that science can happen in an area we would expect science to happen but not in the normal places. When I think of science I think of a lab but I would have never thought that a the light in the lab was part of science. We take the little things for granted when we are used to them being there but they are critical to science
