Core Competency Self assessment and Creative Thinking

I am most proud of my egg drop lab because although the egg cracked, I believe that if it fell towards the side and not the front it would have been safe without a scratch. My golf ball tower was a failure because we ran out of materials really fast. Strategies that our group used was that if we use less tape, then we will have more space to add on and make the tower and the eggs protection more sturdier. In the 2 experiments, I now have a better understanding on the scientific method. This is because that we followed the steps carefully and making sure that we are on the part that we are supposed to be on. I demonstrated that I can create new things when I’m working with a partner. This helps me because me and my partner have our own ways to be creative which can lead to an agreement on what we want to do. When trying new things, I expect setbacks and failure and use them to develop my ideas. An example of this from the Scientific Method labs would be when we were doing the practice day for the golf tower, me and my partner was struggling because our tower was not sturdy enough. Then the next day, we had a improvement of a whole foot because we limited on the materials we used and made sure that everything was sturdy enough to hold a golf ball. I demonstrated that I can build on the ideas of others when I understand their prototype and get how it works.
