Lab 19C: Determination of a Solubility Product Constant

Communication

In lab 19C, I demonstrated the core competency of communication. I showed this core competency when I was collaborating with my lab partner as we needed to both work together to complete the lab. This is shown through the artifact above in which we mixed Pb(NO3)2 with KI in order to make the precipitate PbI2. During this procedure, my partner and I followed through with dividing lab work to ensure the lab goes well. My partner and I both measured the different compounds during the lab such as the distilled water, Pb(NO3)2, and KI as well as took time to communicate with each other when we needed clarification on certain parts of the procedure. We combined our effort to complete this lab and to make sure we made no errors by having my partner check the lab procedure while I follow the instructions she gives me.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Collaborating in CLE 10

The artifact I chose to represent my Collaboration Competency is the brainstorming interview worksheet. In this activity, we had to brainstorm ways in getting ready for an interview. While working on this activity, I demonstrated collaborative skills by supporting group interactions and working collectively as a class. During the activity, we had to share our ideas on a collective document the teacher had and I could value the different perspectives and ideas my classmates had. I listened actively as we took turns discussing. Before sharing, I also discussed with some of my peers where we listened to each others’ ideas and shared common answers. We contributed to each other’s ideas to soon have stronger ideas that we could share with the rest of the class. This skill is important in everyday life as you are constantly working with other people in your life so being able to communicate and work together with them is a valuable asset to have. This skill can be applied to everyday life such as when you’re working on projects in school or a job.
