Economics 12 Core Competencies Reflection

I have chosen the stock market project I have completed in this course for my core competencies reflection. We were given $100,000 to purchase our stock and we need to choose 3-5 companies for our investment. After finishing the stock market project, I improved my positive personal and cultural identity competency. I have gained the ability to predict and invest in a stock market, and also understand investing gains and losses at the same time. My strength as a learner is putting these experiences into the future. Now I have learned how to invest in stocks and I will definitely invest money in real-life situations later on. It is a decent way to gain money and lots of people do that. However, I will not put a lot of money into it, since I am still a beginner at investing and indeed, there are a lot of risks.

In this chapter, we have learned about energy transform. Energy is transformed in chemical reactions, I have drew a picture of the life balance to prove organism’s relationship, between cellular respiration and photosynthesis are what they adapted for and essential for their survival. Photosynthesis (chemical equation: 6CO2+ 6H2O) add solar energy can produce glucose and oxygen (C6H12O6+6O2)and it is necessary to human ‘s respiration, then our respiration produce carbon dioxide (6CO2) and reabsorbed by trees and produce Photosynthesis. It can be seen that this is a cycle, which proves how wonderful nature is, and we and nature are interdependent and connected.
