   As my genius hour project has gotten larger I have learnt more and more interesting facts about the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. My skills on researching this specific topic have gotten a lot better as I have found much more reliable sources and websites that have given me good and truthful information that I am able to use for my own project. My skills in researching topics in general have also gotten better in the sense that I am able to find information quickly and am able to use my time on my project more productively and easily.

   Some questions that I still have on the Bermuda Triangle are all of the different theories and figuring out which one would be the most appropriate theory that would fit the beliefs and theories in our time now. There are a large number of theories out there on the different ways that ships and airplanes have disappeared in this mysterious place and some are much more believable than others, but it is still hard to figure out which one is the most truthful and real one. My perspective has very much changed as I originally didn’t consider and believe all the different ways these disappearances could have supposedly occurred. I have now took in more of the theories and have gotten a better understanding of how the mystery of the Bermuda triangle happened and started.

Above is a video of the top 10 mysterious explanations of the Bermuda Triangle.

     For my genius hour project I chose to research the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. I chose this topic as I find the mystery disappearances to be very interesting and I also find the legends and myths to be really appealing. I hope to be able to find out the different theories behind all of the disappearances that have occurred in the Bermuda Triangle and to also find out the different opinions and beliefs of the people who have researched or even traveled there. I want to be able to find reliable sources that explain this long mystery. Hopefully my final product will turn into a power point showing off all of my information and explanations on my topic, using pictures and videos so the class will understand the facts a little bit better. I will read and present all of the information in front of the class and try to get them to learn as much as I did during the entire process.


     So far some of my biggest challenges have been trying to find reliable sources for the mystery disappearances and just information in general as some sources aren’t very reliable. Some websites do not have proper information so it is sometimes hard to find real and good information. That will be my biggest challenge while researching on this topic for sure. My next steps are to further my learning and gain more reliable information on the Bermuda Triangle and try to make my final product the best that it can be.
