Core Competency Self-Assessment

My artifact that I chose for science 9 is my strawberry DNA lab. In this lab we extracted DNA from a strawberry cell. We did this by getting the DNA out of the nucleus in this lab from smashing the strawberries in a bag with dish soap, salt, and tap water. The smashing was to break up the plant cell walls in a bag. The dish soap was to break down the fats in the cell membranes and nuclear membranes so the contents of the cell and nucleus can be released. The salt breaks up proteins chains the bind around the DNA separated from the rest of the material. Since my teacher added more than the amount of strawberries everyone was supposed to have we had lots of strawberry DNA.  I think I demonstrated communication with my partner during this lab since we had to ask around for other partners opinions.

Reflection Question- is violence justified during a protest?

A) How did the use of AI assist you in developing this project

I used the AI as a tool to find information I needed easier and much faster. Instead of searching through random websites to find what I need.

B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than just a product of the AI

I took the info for my arguments out of AI and made sure I wrote it in my own words.

C) Did you agree with the position you had to argue? Why or why not?

I did not agree with my position. I think you can get your word out by not being violent but instead by peaceful protest.

Competency Reflection

  1. My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include reading through to make sure I understand the statement the best I can.
  2. I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in my rebuttal.

Blender Building Scene

What are 3 core competencies you demonstrated with the Blender Buildings Assignment?  Explain.

The first core competency I demonstrated while making my blender building was creative thinking. I used my creative thinking to think about what color and shape I should make my three houses to make it go well with the look of the neighborhood. The second core competency I used was critical thinking especially when watching the fast tutorials. If I missed a step in the video I can either go back to see what I missed, try my best to figure it out myself, or lastly ask a friend or teacher for help. The last core competency I used while building my houses was social/personal awareness. Asking my teacher or friends for help if I need it or offering help to others.
