Rights assignment

My right that I chose is the right Of Privacy.

My right exists because if people didn't have privacy then police officers could pull you over and check your vehicles or break into your home and search your house without a reason or a warrant from a judge. Also, it allows people to live the way they want to live without it effecting how people view and think of them.

what it means to exercise my right is that the government can't search or seize my property without due process of law. Also, there is FERPA which stands foe Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and it protects the privacy of student education records

If a government official has a warrant or probable cause to search or seize my property then i can't stop them from doing so without punishment.

Those limitations exist so the government can keep America and the people within America safe.

If I had to give up my right I would want reassurance that no government official will search or seize my property without a reason to.

Reflecction April 4 2009

What did you learn? I learned that Nicola Tesla made a lot of inventions such as car engins, man made earthquakes, death rays, and etc. Also, I learned that Tesla was a brilliant scientist that his man obsession was with magnetism because he thought that it could benifit human kind.
What was your research question? My research question was how did Nicola Tesla make his inventions
What was the answer to your research question? My answer was that for the particle beam was that he used a charged particle to make a beam like laser to shoot objects. For the teleforce he used coil and DC power to create a magnetic feild to launch objects from a tube like material.
Did your final product answer that question? Yes and no because I had difficulties explaining how they were made and what they were made for.
How? I used a laser to demonstrate the particle beam and a PVC pipe rapped in copper wire to demonstrate Teleforce.
What did you do well on the project? I think I did ok on the Teleforce model but I beleive it could've been better.
What could you have improved on the project? I could of made little notes to help remember details of Tesla and his inventions.
What would you change about what you did on the project? I would have changed what models I was going to make and pick easier ones that I wouldn't have as many complications with.
What would you change about the assignment itself? I would have changed the rule about using powerpoint becaue the powerpoint would've helped me a lot to explain everything that i needed to.
What grade do you think you deserve on the project? Why? 70 because even though I triedI didn't really explain my question and I didn't have the tesla coil like I was supposed to.
