Thinking

In the acids and bases lab I learnt how to improve apon apply my knowlege. Before the lab I was able to make accurate predictions on the acidity and basity of each species. I did this both by refering to other resources such as the teachers notes and connecting to the concepts I had already learnt in grade 11. For instance, I was able to determin that KOH was basic because OH- receves a proton. However I was also able to think outside the box when my predictions did not correlate to the resutes of the lab. For example a solution that should have been neutral, turned out acidic. I connected this consept to ocean acidification. I knew that carbon dioxide could make ocean water more acidic, therefore it can also make solutions acidic. That connection caused me to have a greater understanding of chemestry and help me in the future to better connect topics.

French 12 Cooking Show

Creative Thinking

In this project, my partner and I had to work together to create a script in french on how to make Sosis Bandari. We had to use creative thinking to make a comprehenive skript, and record the cooking process. One example when we used creative thinking is the recording process. My group limited time to cook the dish, and we were worried we would run out of time. Instead of recording us each step chronologicaly, we decided to record the cooking first, then speaking the lines while it was cooking on the stove. Another problem we encountered was when writing the script. We needed to include as much vocabulary as posible. We desided to list the to cooking exquipment (such as the stove, and pan) in addition to the ingredients. The last issue we encountered inculding the grammar points. To do this I looked at some of the example sentences in textbook, to inspire us to include as many grammar points as possible. All these creative skill helped my group complite this project.

Anatomy and Physiology 12 Core Competency Self-Assessment

One of the labs I competed in Anatomy and Physiology 12 class was the heart disection lab. The obective of this lab was to lable the parts of the heart we learned in class on a sheep’s heart. This task was difficult because the heart looks very different from the heart diagrams we looked at. Instead of looking at the shapes of each part, I traced the path of blood throughout the heart, and was able to use that information to find the parts of the heart. At the end of the lab, I got confused about where the pulmonary semilunar valve was located. To help me solve this problem, I demonstrated collaboration by asking for help from with my peers. We shared ideas to understand the answers and complet the lab. After identifying all parts of the heart I was able to use socail awarness to take ownership of my learning, and answer the writen questions. I looked at my notes, textbook and understanding of material to evalute the answers of to lab questions.

Core Compitancy Reflection: Pre Calc

Option 1 – Collaboration

During the corse of pre-calculus 12 I have learned how to work with a group. In the start of the semester I often worked ahead of my peers and spoke over their ideas. But during trigonometric identities, I realized there were many ways to solve a question. Often times I would be unable to find the . Our group was able to look at the formula sheet and discus different ideas. To be sure that we were working as a team, I alowed another member to write the steps. This alowed us to have our own roles in the group and have everyone included in the problem solving. Trignometric functions taught me profile 3 of collaboration, now I can take on different roles and tasks in the group and work respectfully and safely in our shared space. In the future I hope to draw on past experiences to negotiate and develop group processes. That way my group can disscover stratagies to quickly solve problems with minimal mistakes.
