March 27, 2008 — jeanae13Describe how you have researched on your project. What were some interesting information that you found? What difficulties did you have in searching for information?
Researching for my project, I could say was fun. It was fun to me because I researched on a topic that really interest me. I first decided to research on soccer because it is one of my all time favorite sports. Later, I decided to research on butterflies. I chose butterflies over soccer, because I know alot more about soccer, than I do about butterflies. Also, because I have had a lot of interest in butterflies for a long time, but never took the time to learn about them.
There was so much information I found about butterflies. Some of the information that I researched was surprising, and some were random. One information that interested me, was getting to know how butterflies obtain their color. I thought that it just comes randomly, but I found out that it doesn’t. Also, that butterflies have many similarities to moths. There was one site that I visited, that provided so much information on there differences and similarites. I spent most of my time researching on that site, rather than going to other sites.
There was a few difficulties that I faced during my research. One of the difficulites was finding specific information. I was searching for what colors are more often found on the wings of butterflies. All the sites kept giving me was how it obtains its color. Also some sites that I was trying to visit, was being blocked on my computer. Even with a few difficulties, I still managed to find out many interesting things about butterflies, and complete my project.
