Thinking CC

I demonstrated creative thinking in many different ways throughout this lab. I had to come up with a clear hypothesis using my previous knowledge about diffusion and membranes. I also had to think on my feet and problem solve any issues that we ran into. As my partner and I were prepping and putting the dialysis tubing in the distilled water, we realized that the water already had glucose concentration in it, meaning that it was leaking. We had to think about all the possibilities of where glucose might have come from, which could’ve been excess glucose around the tubing and the string, or the tubing might have been pierced.

Communication CC

During the lab, I demonstrated very high communication skills. To start, I not only talked and worked out problems with my own group, but I also collaborated with other groups when my group was stuck. I was able to work on my teamwork and use my critical thinking abilities as we had to problem-solve and come to conclusions as a group. I actively engaged in discussions with my partner. We thoroughly evaluated our mistakes, reflecting on what worked well and what areas we could have improved on.
