Snakes: Spencer
I chose this topic because I have always been fascinated by snakes, how they move, their appearance and their behavior toward humans. In the beginning I researched snakes by reading many books from 3 different libraries, and several internet sources, discovering lots of interesting facts about North Carolina's snake population. I was able to interview a herpetologist at the NC Zoo, tour the public exhibits and explore behind the scenes areas. Constructing a 3D model comparing a venomous and non venomous snake was messy yet fun. The skeleton model I made from clay, beads and wire was challenging. Putting together a powerpoint presentation took time, concentration and patience. I hope everyone will respect, appreciate and realize snakes are awesome. A project his big takes time, you can't rush things if you want a good results. Following each step helps to breakdown the task and make it easier to complete and assemble in the end. Next time I want to study Greek mythology because I've been reading books and watching movies about them.
