Communication: In familiar settings, I can communicate with peers and adults. I listen and listen to people I know.

In arts and crafts, I can communicate with peers and adults to ask for help, ideas, and directions to lead me correctly. Throughout this course, I have struggled with many projects. However, with the help of my peers and the teacher, I could communicate my problem and come to a resolution. For this specific project we had to create a wallet from scratch using scrap fabric. While working on the wallet I struggled to use the sewing machine because my bobbin kept getting stuck but my peers around me assisted and we were able to solve the problem. After sewing it together we had to attach a button for the wallet to close and after many attempts, I couldn’t get the button to work. This was when I asked the teacher for assistance and communicated my problem. While doing these projects I have learned to communicate not only my problems but ask my peers and the teacher for advice on how I should design my project and what tools I should use.

The artifact that I chose is from a Diffusion Lab and this is specifically a starch cell after 24 hours in an IKI and water solution.

This artifact is from the Diffusion lab and shows observations throughout the lab.

Communication CC

During this lab, I worked with a partner and to create this cell which required collaboration. We had to work together and take on roles and responsibilities to make sure we did the lab correctly. We made sure that we had equal responsibilities and helped each other out because many parts of this lab required us to work together. For example, while making the cell I had to open and hold the dialysis tube carefully so my partner could pour in the solution. We also had to work as one while tying the cell to secure it. We did have times when we were confused about what to do next and helped each other out by thinking out loud. We made sure that we both understood what was going on before starting the next step so we could avoid any miscommunication. For example, we were confused about how the leak occurred in our cell and had to work together to figure out what went wrong.

Thinking CC

For this lab, there was a lot of critical thinking involved as well and that can be seen in the second artifact. While doing the lab we had to observe the cell and solution before the 24 hours and after to see if there were any changes. The starch cell after 24 hours turned completely blue and from what we learned in class I could determine that the iodine and water diffused into the cell. I then had to analyze specific things such as mass, volume, and concentration. I then gathered evidence to support my observations which included an increase in mass from before the 24 hours. This required critical thinking because I had to figure out what substance diffused into the cell and what diffused out. lastly, I had to write a conclusion to summarize what happened in the lab and determine if my hypothesis was supported or not. I had to gather all my observations, and evidence to come to a conclusion on what happened in the lab.
