Fluidized Bed Reflection

I feel a bit of relief after completing this report. This report came easier for me than the one immediately prior. Finally pushing myself to get through all the details, which for me at times can be very overwhelming. Communicating was much more fluid for me during this experiment. The initial shock of my last report forced me to stick with things I may have been uncomfortable with longer. Either way during this experiment I read and read and read and felt much more as ease knowing what I had to do, measure and what the overall goal was we all were striving towards. I felt a sense of calmness when I had to write the report, a sense of familiarity that made it much less overwhelming than earlier. Preparation is a huge part of this reports success but I too feel that getting a few reports under my belt ( bad or good ) helps in the ability to sit and write introductions and talk about
I felt like a stayed true to the goals I had in the pre-reflection, I communicated more with my team and felt at ease when talking about the experiment with them. I not only understood what it was we were conducting but I was very interested in helping my family understand and define fluidized beds. At one point they were texting me their ideas of common everyday uses of fluidized beds. My mother asked if a popcorn maker would be an example of common everyday uses. It was because of this I felt I was getting closer to my goal and the goal of the professor by grasping the why and how of the importance of communicating technical information in a non-technical way. My family actually is looking forward to my next report and certainly enjoy being used as Guinea pigs. I feel fairly certain that the models and equipment and terminology we are using in all of our experiments will be used in even greater detail in my professional future. I feel I was able to describe and model the equipment in my report in a way that would be very easy for high school educated citizens
