1. Make a list of what you've learned about research:
I have learned that research isn't just for school. I have learned that you use it every day. Even if your just thinking about what you want for dinner, or if you are thinking what colors you want on your picture, you are still doing research. I've learned that I really do it alot..... I mean ALOT. Mostly on what book I want to read or what snack I want. That is what I have learned about reasearch.

2. How have your thoughts and ideas about research changed?
Well I've always thought of research as a boring thing that you do only in school, but I realized I really like it. Without it I wouldn't be able to know the things I know. I really had fun doing research these last few days. We have done alot of research on how to work a computer and that has been very fun. We have done research on how to do research..... which was also fun. My thoughts of research really have changed. I now realize it is fun and we use it every day. Now I actually really like research. So, yes my thoughts have changed completely about research.
