Collaborating through an Unknown Acids and Bases Lab

My Artifact: Image of different Acids and Bases in a spotlight

I demonstrated my critical and reflective thinking skills by using information from the acids and bases chart we got to decide whether the unknown chemical was an acid or a base. I also showed this skill by making sure that I followed all steps for the lab to get the correct result. The strategies that I used were that I took the different results from each spot in the spotlight to make an informed decision whether it was an acid or a base. If I were to do this again I would lay out the chemicals so that it is easier to pour them into the different divots.
