What was the best school project you ever had, and why?

For about 30% of my GCSE mark in Graphic Products, I'm making a board game...
And over the summer a few of us have been chosen to make podcasts concerning Graphics for GCSE students for years to come. I'm project leader

I had to construct the Universe as I believed it was. I did it with rocks, foil, glitter, light bulbs, clay and building blocks. I became obsessed and kept adding things on. It almost took a truck to bring this project in.

What do the answers have to do with the question? The question asks WHAT project while the answers say WHY.

I liked making videos in radio/tv production! That whole class was fun.

My project was to make Ceaser’s will. I enjoyed it because I was able to use my artistic creativity. Where as the other kids were thinking what to write in the will, I was also thinking on how to make it look like a will from Ceaser's time. I soaked my paper in tea to make it look old. I glued a dolly on each end of the paper and used wooden knobs on the four ends of the dollies. I hung a tassel on the top end of the dolly and rolled the dollies together and tied it closed. I also made an indented seal on the paper but I don't remember how I did that. I also wrote the will in calligraphy (as best I could anyway). When the teacher asked us to pass up our projects she had a hand full of white papers that had been typed and in the other hand, my project that she seemed pleasantly surprised to see in its form. I made an A plus extra credit points too on that project. It hung on her board for months. Like every great thing I ever did in school, I never got it back!

In the last year of primary school we had to do an individual topic. It was basically just a basic research project to prepare us fore doing them in secondary school. We could choose whatever subject we wanted to - I chose domestic cats for some reason. The whole time I was doing it I wondered why I didn't choose Space or Ancient Egypt.

In Grade 12 English were were supposed to make a presentation. There was no specific guidelines, we could do whatever we wanted. I gave a verse of Jabberwocky to everyone in the class and asked for volunteers to 'translate' it to English. I liked it and I think everyone else did.

Maybe a silkscreen project I did in Graphics 10. It was pretty fun. I made lots of copies, gave them to my friends. I also got an "A"!

Made a candle holder on the lathe in wood shop. I liked it because I had freedom, I liked the subject (I loved metal shop too), it was a challenge, and hey, you didn't put my answer! I was allowed to be creative, and do it alone. I hated group projects. And the wood smells good.

I had a few projects, but I barely remember them.

Damn that's a long time ago I don't know. Once in high school I wrote an essay on Totalitarianism and got called a Communist by another girl in the class which was mildly amusing. Other than that, and that isn't really a "project", I don't remember anything in particular.

I took a great introductory engineering course in college. The professor gave us a manila envelope of ordinary items (pencils, paperclips, rubber bands, a razor blade, straws) and told us to make something out of it. It was amazing to see what everyone came up with. I made a mousetrap, and used the manilla envelope to make a cover for it that looked like swiss cheese.

I don't remember enough about my projects.

It was good because I was the first person that the teacher had ever given an A+ to.

When I was in Year 3 (about 7) we did a project on the ancient Egyptians. It was very hands on - we made papyrus (from rolls of newspaper that were supposed to look like rushes) and mummified our teacher's teddy bear. It was also history which I loved. We got to visit the city museum and hold Egyptian artifacts. Very exciting

The same year, we did a mini project about the history of our village. The old registers from the old village school (19th century) were brought in, and because I had finsihed my other work, I got to spend a long time reading through them. I was especially excited to find a record of a young girl who had lived in the house a few doors down from me and whose father had owned all of the land that my house was later built on, and the rest that became a park. I would use her name as my pen-name if I ever wrote anything.

Hmm, what else. When I was about 14 we did an architecture project in art. I decide to design a church and I made it very modern. The floors were made from glass but they worked like those plasma balls so that electricity sparked around your feet as you walked. There was purplish stained glass in the roof as well. We also did a portrait project where we had to design a portrait of a friend, incorporating all of the elements that they wanted to show their status and who they were.

Umm, did a project about bridges when I was about 9 that was exciting because I got to write a big story about the Tay Bridge disaster.

The other best ones were English projects in secondary school. Reworking the Lady of Shallot as a short story. Writing the diary of Victor Frankenstein. An essay about the Inspector in An Inspector Calls.

I did a lot of fun projects

I don't remember. I've done way to many projects since school.

I don't remember.

My science fair project, I put a stop watch in a freezer to see if the temperature would have an effect in how fast the time would ran. The result: about 1.5 seconds slowdown per 24 hours.

Another project, the class was broken up into groups and we were supposed to make a Mardi Gras float out of an old shoe box. Me and my friend patched up together, um something, with about 10 pounds of duck tape

The watch one sounds like a neat idea!

I hate all school projects, why? because they all SUCK

In 8th grade I made a guillotine with a He-man action figure with a black good holding the rope with a basket of blood made from Carro syrup and red food coloring. It was good because it was shocking & no one else in the glass did it. I didn't win anything but everyone stopped and looked at it.

How old were you? Seems a bit twisted, not that I mind. I like twisted just fine. Or maybe I mean morbid.

Earth Science. I worked alone and made folders with color pictures. It involved drawing such as graphs and charts, patterns..., coloring, research, and all put together in a binder with a cover and contents. I enjoyed that.

12 years old. I was morbid at 12. I listened to heavy metal and cut the sleeves off my t-shirts and was getting suspended from school. No cares in the world. No supervision. The first time I ran away from home I was 9.

A project in 2nd or third grade where we had to make a puppet that was a famous inventor and write a paper. I still have the project.

I also had little supervision all my childhood. Both of my parents were major alcoholics. My dad grew pot on the side of the house and dried it in the attack. He smoked it a lot but I think it was also a cash crop. We needed money desperately. Unfortunately I was too shy and clueless to really have a mind of my own and was basically lost.

My mom just couldn't deal with 5 kids. Their is family history of unstable mental conditions. Both of my parents were institutionalized at one time or another as well as myself. I am the worst of my siblings.

Worst as in mental problems or worst in general as a person. My little brother, every time he dropped something or spilled something my dad would yell at him and call him names. The worse it got the more clumsy he became. Talking to a psychologist, he was still a kid, found out he had absorbed that treatment like a sponge and truly believed he wasnt a good person because he always messed stuff and couldn't do anything right.

Worst as in mental problems. But now that I think of it, I think my younger brother is worse than me, he just hasn't been institutionalized yet and probably won't ever. My parents divorced when I was too young to remember and when I was 2 or 3 my mother left my father for a few wks. short of a year and left us behind and then came back divorced my dad and took all but my oldest sister away while my dad took her on vacation to visit her grandparents, she was not my father's child, but he adopted her when my parents married. When my dad came home, we were all gone.

Wow, that was kind of cold. The person I refer to as 'dad' is actually my step dad. He adopted me. I was 2 when my mom married him. They got divorced when I was about 20 and both remarried. When I say 'step dad' I am referring to the man my mother is married to now. He has a few annoying flaws but he's a really caring and hard working guy who is usually very easy to get along with. He's the best out of the three. My biological father left while my mother was pregnant with me. They weren't married. I am told he came to see me when I was 1 and I vaguely remember seeing a picture but I might be imagining that. I never saw him again.

yeah, it really fudgeed everyone up. my mom seems to live by the motto "ignorance is bliss." i think now dementia is slowly taking over. i try to forgive her for so many things she ignored me over & my dad wasn't much better he only 2 hrs away. i didn't see my family except one sister for nearly a yr.

Who I call my dad, we don't speak or see each other. I gave him many chances and felt horrible every time I came across him. He blew it every time. Finally I realized it was stupid of me to keep trying only to end up feeling rotten so I said 'f*ck him' to myself and I feel so much better. I do run into him at a birthday or something but I treat him like a stranger. Say hi and ignore him completely without effort.

I think I'd have to tell him off. I can't bite my tongue.

When I was in Highschool our Music teacher (I was in Choir) the teacher told us of a concert that was comming up Black Sabbath..and if we went we got Credit for going....I went!

In Junior High we had to collect and identify at least 20 plant leaves on our property or street. I blew the others away by doing more than 50 species as it started my love of biology and learning about living things.

Uh anything that involved not doing work.

We never have huge projects together but we do have research papers like once a week and it sux!!!!
