Core Competency Self-Assessment

The Lab 19C was about determining an approximate Ksp value for PBI2 at room temperature. During the lab, I collaborated with my partners and shared our observations. Test tubes A, B, C, and D have ppt form (yellow), whereas E and F have not changed at all. We also observed what temperature caused the precipitate in each test tube to dissolve, as shown in the photo. One person swirls the test tubes until they dissolve, while another records the temperature. I also cleaned the materials because we didn’t have enough time. I demonstrate my appreciation for feedback from others in my group by actively listening and asking questions. After the lab, we had to finish the observations&data paper. I didn’t know how to calculate Trial Ion Product, so I asked one of my partners and she told me how to. However, I was still not sure, so I asked again and found out there was a mistake. We fixed together and helped each other.

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I go for a walk. Walking is a good way to relax my mind and improve my mood. Also, I eat sweet desserts or snacks to help me re-focus on my work. It reduces stress and enhance feelings of calmness and contentment. My hand was shaking as I worked on Where the Blood Mixes – Graphic Novel, and I regretted not using technology to complete the assignment.

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are asking my friends. I wasn’t sure what hues to use, so I asked a friend who enjoys drawing and painting. When I couldn’t figure out how to sketch the characters’ expressions, I took her for help. I also tried to consider many factors differently.

Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include planning my schedule effectively, taking a deep breath and setting aside alone time. I made an effort to give myself some time to think about additional creative concepts while I was working on the project and feeling stressed.

My goal is more paying attention to the First Peoples’ and other cultures for myself going forward. To do that, I’m going to listen their words and stories carefully.

This is a picture of me picking up the red and black “prey” in the Natural Selection lab.
  • I demonstrated that I can collect and analyze evidence when I strongly understood the Natural Selection lab’s introduction and procedure before we start the lab, and recorded the results about Feeding Frenzy lab. I participated, and communicated with my group for collecting the data. I was able to explain genetic variation, changes in the environment, struggle for survival, over production of offspring and natural selection after finished the experiment.
  • I demonstrated that I can connect evidence I collected to big ideas when I answered the following questions such as explain the relationship between predator and prey and data of results. In the class, I learned about crysis, mimcry and aposematic coloration. I can linked them together to the experiments.
  • I demonstrated that I can make predictions based on evidence when I was doing the Natural Selection lab. There are red and black licorice pieces and 3 colour papers. (black, white and red) It was difficult to pick up the red prey on the piece of red paper, but it was easy to pick up the red prey on the black and white papers. Also, in the Feeding Frenzy lab, I predicted some feeding mechanisms (broken fork, broken spoon, long and short chopsticks) could be hard to adapt to specific feeding area or some feeding mechanisms could live simply. For instance, broken fork is best suited for puffy wheat because it is easy to poke. The feeding mechanisms would leave and find somewhere else. This could lead to the development of new species.
  • I demonstrated that I can draw reasoned conclusions when I completed the lab and following questions. I learned Darwin’s theory of natural selection and methods of organism survival. Moreover, I understood the general steps for the formation of new species.
