Chemical Equilibrium
For this project, we were tasked with forming a project based off chemical inequalities in our world. We were given a list of topics to choose from, ranging from ocean acidification to Schizophrenia. I decided to choose anxiety, as it is an important subject to me.
My first step was researching my chosen topic. I decided first to simply search the word anxiety, and to filter through my viable options. The first result that interested me was an overall anxiety informational packet. it spoke about anxiety and the symptoms that accompany it. my other sources were a chemical explanation of what occurs in the mind during an anxiety attack, options for anxiety help and treatment, the stigmas against anxiety, and another list of symptoms, more complex and in depth.
I thought the best way to inform many on this complicated subject, and with a short,informative format, was to set up a twitter. Twitter, a service allowing users to share their thoughts with their followers, was the solution. I set up my twitter fairly easily, calling it anxielit for obvious reasons. i tweeted a few times the first few days, and i received ten followers. i hope to keep this twitter active throughout high school.
I fairly enjoyed this project, but there are a few things in which I would have done differently. For one thing I would have liked to change the name to anxiewitty. I believe its easier to understand and more clever. I also would from now on like to post tweets both informative and humorous, not just one or the other.
for this project, many things went well, and other things could have gone better. I believe i did my research very well and my sources were trustworthy. i also thought that i planned everything out well enough, but i also wish i spent less time planning, and more time forming the profile, i also wish i had taken more steps to gain more followers.
Overall, i fairly enjoyed this project and want to pursue it more, i hope to still be educating many on issues such as these in the future.
