Response to 5-minute presentation


1) What was most challenging to do in this presentation and why?
  • I was nervous because I'm use to having people back me up so i got nervous because if I meast up or anything. i was also nervous because when i was at home trying to memorize it I didn't time myself so I didn't know how long I was going to be up there so I wanted to get an okay time.
2) What is the difference between the literal and interpretive in your presentation?
  • The literal was the facts that I learned from the research. The interpretive was saying what my topic is and applied it the presentation.
3) What will you take from this and apply to future presentations?
  • I’d be more prepared and maybe have more information and go over it a lot to make sure it’s all in my head.
What would you say stood out about your presentation performance?
  • Honestly I don't know what stand out in my presentation I said the basics on hazmat level D so I don't know who knows some stuff on hazmat or doesn't.

What is your topic?
  • My topic is most likely going to be on hazmat
Why did you choose this topic?
  • I chose this topic because not many people are aware that you can actually dispose of hazardous material by recycling at special safe centers
What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?
  • I hope to accomplish to successfully raise awareness about recycling centers that deal with  a variety of hazardous waste ranging from spray paint to even poison and harsh acids.

Name of place: My house 

Summary of what you did: Basically what we did is go over the PPE(personal protective equipment) the different properties of the HHW (household hazardous waste) and how harmful they can be towards the environment and the human body. We also went over the different kind of site one is the regular HazMat waste site the others are the emergency for example oil spills sites.  

What's the most important thing you've learned: The most important I think would be how careful you have to be when working with all these chemicals or when being around them because if you mix chemicals and can release toxins into the air it can be harm to humans and the environment. So basically anything you do with chemicals will end up harming someone or something.
