Today, I continued to create my project. I took out all of the parts from the box and began to sand the rough surface. At first, I got the sand paper and sand block to sand out the sharp points of the petals. It took me a while to finish sanding those parts. Then, by using the sand block with garnet paper, I Picture 1: Sanding the side petals with garnet started to sand one of the side of the light support. It paper was very easy to sand the light support since it was very small. I also had to sand the inside part of the light support. It didn't even take 10 minutes to sand those parts. After that, I began to sand the base of my project. The side of the base was so sharp that I had to round them with garnet paper. Because the size of the base was too big to sand, I had to use the flat file to file the rough parts first. When the rough parts were smooth enough, I began to sand with the garnet paper. This made me easier to sand Picture 2: Sanding the outside of the light support because filing already has made the side parts with garnet paper and sanding block smooth. When I was done with sanding the base of my project, I began to sand the stem of my project with a sand board. The sand board helped me to sand easier because I just needed to push and pull the object on the board. When I finished sanding the side parts of the stem, I began to sand the edge of the side. The edges of the sides were so sharp that I thought I really needed to smooth that parts. I used the garnet paper and sanding block to sand off the edge. By the end of the class, I was able to finish sanding all the parts of my project. The only thing

Changes in the plan <gantt chart> There were some drastic changes in my gantt chart. At first, I was very slow in creating the parts of my project, but as I caught up the plan of my project, I was able to finish sanding stage than I have planned to. I just needed to put those parts together and paint the other parts.

Although I didn't finish sanding the side petals, I was able to finish a lot of amount of the work by today. IB Learner Profile & AOI
- 3. From today’s lesson, I was able to finish sanding most of the parts of my project. I think I was organized because I could use the time wisely to complete my task on sanding the parts of the project. I think the lesson was related with the human ingenuity because I was finish creating the parts for my project Picture 4: Filing the edge of the base with flat file Picture 5: Sanding the edge of the base with Picture 6: Sanding the side part of the stem with garnet paper and sanding block sanding board Picture 7: Sanding the edge of the stem with garnet paper and sanding block
