Communication and thinking

In this lab I used communication by talking through questions and discussing with my lab partners. I communicated my ideas and reflected my thinking by analyzing the results of the lab and reflecting what I thought caused the results. although there were some sources of error in our experiment (the blue leaking), we were still able to figure out the answers to the questions with the data we had. Communicating with my lab partners was necessary for assigning roles during the lab and being able to get different perspectives and data in the lab.

Facing a Challenge

The first time I tried this problem I found it challenging because moving the terms across the equal sign was making me lose track of where each term was and the little mistakes while I was moving the terms was changing my final answer. The first time I tried this problem factored out the negative which led to me getting one of my factors of x=-1, but I then learned that since 0/-1 = 0, -1 cannot be a factor of x. I asked Ms. Lam for help as well as using the app Photomath to help me with the steps. I used factoring squaring, square rooting, solving for x, combining like terms, and restrictions to solve this problem. Next time I encounter a difficult problem, I might try to go through the steps carefully and check my notes to help me solve the problem. I can also consult one of my peers or Ms. Lam to help me, as well as our class tutor Willam.

I thought this process went well. I enjoyed working with adobe creative cloud and creating the videos, I thought it was fun to be able to create a video to educate people about different courses at centennial. I found communicating with the teachers the most difficult/frustrating part. I felt the teachers were not taking the assignment very seriously, and it made it frustrating trying to get them to listen or respond. I enjoyed making the basketball video, as it is something I am passionate about, so I was able to make the video how I wanted to display the class. I learned that many people want a visual representation of how a class will work, and choosing a course to take can be difficult, so by creating these videos, I can help people make important decisions. I did a good job using my creative thinking to make my video. I used a quote from the teacher of the class and incorporated it into my own work, using another person’s idea to add to my own work and make it better.

In chemistry 11 I did a lab where I had to find the formula of a hydrate. I took qualitative and quantitative observations and did calculations to find the moles of each substance and the empirical formula of the hydrate. I thought I did well with my calculations and finding qualitative observations during the experiment. I think that I need to work on writing conclusions, as I found it difficult to find ways to describe my work through words.
