COMMUNICATION:
During the diffusion lab, communication with lab partners and group members is important. I communicated with my partner when doing the procedures, as team work is an essential for our lab to be done on time. There was a miscommunication on part of the lab as the dialysis tubing ended up in the trash at one point. Nevertheless, we decided to make a new one and at this point we fully listened and responded accordingly, we communicated properly and so we could finish the lab on time. During the predicting of hypothesis, communication is needed with my partner and my two other group members. My partner and I did the part A of the lab and so doing the hypothesis for part A wasn’t too hard, however, my two other group members did part B’s portion. Because I didn’t do the part B portion and they didn’t do the part A portion, communication is necessary. All the group members have to communicate and listened properly in order to predict the hypothesis. Next time when doing another lab, I would like to improve on my active listening skills.
CRITICAL/REFLECTIVE THINKING
There was much critical and reflective thinking done during this lab. Considering there was no exact answer for the questions on the lab, to answer the questions I had to reflect deeply and connect the data results with the notes. I had to do some research too on diffusion. To account for any errors, reflective thinking is crucial. For the conclusion, I had to reanalyze the evidence, research on factors effecting diffusion, and look back on the notes to be able to make decisions and draw conclusions. Accounting for any errors done on the lab made me realize many things. Next time, I would like to improve on asking more questions and being more curious.
