Life Science 11 Core Competency Self Assessment

Throughout this project I demonstrated creative thinking. I was told to make a model of the HIV virus, I was faces with the challenge of finding the right materials and putting it all together and try to make it look similar to a real HIV virus. I gathered all equipment’s from my little sister and spray painted a tennis ball as the body of my virus. I then utilized hot glue and things I could find around the house to put my project together with. I then made a pamphlet and put all the information necessary on there.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Creative Thinking

I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. For this project Me and my group were learning from our mistakes as we were going along and improving among them, I can also develop a body of creative work over time, at first this project looked very different but got improved a lot as we went along. An example of where I took a significant risk in my thinking or in the project was when I decided to increase the weight which was risky because it could have messed up the project and could have snapped the string. When faced with setbacks we took a moment to reflect and brainstorm a solution.
