In this lab, my partner, Anika, and I were to look into a lamb’s heart and be able to identify different parts of the heart. We did this lab to have a better understanding of the heart and it’s functions. It also helped us being able to indicate specific parts of the heart for our circulatory unit. When trying to figure out which parts were which on the heart, it included a lot of critical thinking which is one of the core competencies. We had to reflect on what we saw, analyze it, and be able to make a conclusion. Another core competency we used was communication. Anika and I had to work as a team to be able to solve the problem, and to be able to give a conclusion. We used communication by listening and responding to one another, and meeting half-way to be able to give a prediction. In, the end, we were able to successfully label everything on the heart because of our critical thinking and communication.
