Now, in my years in Bach, I have acquired great interest for math, science, and social
studies, I have performed well in all three subjects. I feel passionate about sustainability,
chemistry and physics, and wood most likely study to become and engineer, or a scientist,
as I believe the world needs me, as I need of it, to create solutions for a future, where
both nature and human beings can survive. Therefore, I would for my Project to be related
to engineering, sustainability, science and social studies, and for it to be a Project that
affects not only me, but the world.
What field should I choose for my Project, what topic will I focus on?
On the past few months I worked in a Project for a science fair, and before deciding my
Project, I had to read a lot to find the field I could work on, this aided me to develop great
interest for certain fields like quantum physics, renewable energy, organic chemistry,
design and urban planning. Also, in my years in Bach, I have been very involved with the
MUN, and this made me develop great interest for public policy.
Choosing a specific project, whilst having so many ideas is the difficult part, therefore, in
the following fragment I will brainstorm three possible topics I would like to work on, in
three fields that I´m passionate about.
To decide which Project to choose, I will think of how it affects me, the local environment
and the world.
Quantum Physics
1. Investigating the photon or particles of light
Biochemical engineering
4.Developing a renewable fuel by using sucrose.
8. Designing cheaper and sustainable houses for social interest so that more people can
afford them.
9. Developing a park or natural reserve which is open to the public, and self sustained by
the implementation of solar/Eolic energy in the complex.
Chosen project
Reducing waste by producing a cement – like polymer from plastic
Prior knowledge
I have acquired knowledge on how to operate in the lab, manipulating equipment and
chemicals, because during my years in Bach, I have performed various investigations in the
form of experiments. Regarding the scientific language and some of the concepts, I have
acquired knowledge in the field of materials science and chemistry, because I have
participated in Goggle Science Fair, creating projects of my own twice.
Generally, I also have a good understanding of the topic being researched, because of the
fact, that I often read about it, due to my own interest. Regarding the problem that wants
to be addressed, I have an excellent understanding, because I did my PYP exhibition on
the topic of plastic waste. I look forward to expand my knowledge and to apply it to the
production of my project. I also hope this project helps me decide the field of science I
would like to study most.
