My
adventure on the Cape Flats Nature Reserve
My
experience on the Cape Flats Nature Reserve was a great educational, exciting
and extremely energy consuming. This adventure was not only beneficial
academically but it also enhanced communication skills. This adventure required
good communication skills in order to complete the given tasks. The difficulties
I experienced in my group were the lack of communication among the team
members. We had difficulties on agreeing
on the same answer. Hence we wasted a lot of time. This adventure also required
one to be physically fit because there was a lot of running from one point to
another. The part I enjoyed the most was when we had to look for relationships
(symbiosis) between plants. The task I found very difficult was the one where
we had to spot different types of bird species and the sound made by each. The
whole group found it difficult to complete that task hence we just made up
numbers. The outcomes of the game reserve as a whole was that we were able to
distinguish between different plants and how they interact. We also learned
about the essence of working collaboratively as this is required from a
scientist.
