Niklas’s exhibition journal
Issues and SolutionsOur actions can lead to
positive change.Issues, problems, issues! There are big and little issues and problems that concern a lot of people. Some problems and issues have obvious solutions while some issues and problems seem to have no solution.
In your Exhibition process you will get a chance to apply your skills as an action taker to some of these issues and problems. You will be choosing a real problem(either local or global) and carefully working through to a solution and take some action to help this issue or problem.
Working through this Exhibition journal will help you organize your time and resources to discover the best solution to your chosen issue or problem.
Good luck!

Our actions can lead to positive change.
We thought that nuclear energy was bad but we found a way that we could make it better.
Process Reflection
These are things we thought about our topic before BUT now we think differently
The are ideas we had about our problem/issue before AND we still have now
We don’t have any problems anymore because we know all the ideas about the issues.
These are things about our problem/issue that still challenge us and we still wonder about
That you can use thorium instead of uranium for the reactor.
We would like our audience to leave our presentation with these “BIG UNDERSTANDINGS”

For our action we did a viral e-mail with a link to our blog that has a video in it. It is probably going to be successful because it’s going through the whole world because people are going to forward it to other people.
Exhibition Night Reflection
Our actions can lead to positive change.
At exhibition night my group was a success because we explained nuclear energy well and made no mistakes.
That nuclear energy is a bad source of energy at the moment but we could make it a better source of energy if we use thorium instead of uranium because thorium is less radioactive and nuclear waste has to be stored for less than 300 years.
