I would not say this is my best work however I would say this is something that is quite useful too me. This vision board allows me to see what I want in my life and allows me to create goals to reach my desired life. My biggest take away from this class this the fact that I can be anything I wish. There are plenty of careers and options I can do in order to achieve what I want. Furthermore I learned how to plan and follow through with these goals.
Competencies
I can share my thoughts clearly in an understandable way. At the beginning of this semester it was difficult for me to express my thoughts and too put my thoughts into words. Throughout this semester I have shown great growth and I am able to communicate clearly with my peers and teachers.
In our physics class, communication and collaboration played integral roles in enhancing our understanding of complex concepts. Through whiteboard work and collaborative labs, we were able to engage in discussions, share diverse perspectives, and collectively tackle challenging problems. The whiteboard sessions provided a platform for us to visualize and articulate our thoughts. This collaborative approach not only strengthened our individual comprehension but also promoted a sense of teamwork and shared learning. In the lab settings, effective communication was crucial for coordinating experiments, analyzing data, and drawing meaningful conclusions. Working together on hands-on projects not only deepened our understanding of physics principles but also perfected our ability to communicate scientific ideas effectively within a group setting. Overall, the combination of whiteboard work and collaborative labs enriched our physics learning experience, emphasizing the importance of communication and collaboration in the pursuit of scientific knowledge.
A titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution. It involves adding a solution of a known concentration (Titrant) to a solution of the substance being analyzed. In lab 20C the titration was a regulated addition of a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to a hydrochloric acid ( HCl) solution with an unknown concentration. The purpose of this lab is to titrate the hydrochloric acid and to calculate the molarity. The endpoint of a titration is the point at which the reaction between titrant and analyte is complete. It is when there is just enough titrant added to react completely with the analyte. It is at the point where the moles of acid equals the moles of base which cause a neutralization reaction. The end point is usually indicated by a color change or observable change. In the chase of lab 20C one added a PH indicator phenolphthalein. When the endpoint or equivalence point is reached the solution with the PH indicator should turn pink. The lighter the pink suggest that we have added just enough titrant to react. The darker the pink suggests to much titrant has been added and is in excess. Based off of 4 trials it was determined that the average volume was 14.00mL +/- 1.4%. Also it was found that the molarity of [HCl] was 0.140M. On top of all that the balanced equation of the reaction was NaOH + HCl -> H20 + NaCl.
Core Comptency
I can gather and combine new evidence with what I already know to develop reasoned conclusions, judgments, or plans. Lab work and follow ups offer limited information and require one to solve and find the new evidence. For example, the lab 20C on was given the molarity of NaOH and had to find and use the average volume of NaOH to find the molarity of HCl. I am able to take information presented to me and apply in both in labs and in theoretical work to solve and discover new evidence that can help prove the hypothesis. Another example, is during lab 4D I had to find the mass of the crucible and hydrate before and after the first and second heating. Taking that evidence I am able to form the formula of the hydrate. Based of the formula I was to then find the percentage of water. That new evidence allowed me to create a conclusion of how to find the empirical formula and percentage of water. Overall, I am proficient at being able to gather and combine new evidence with what I already know to develop reasoned conclusions.
I was able to demonstrate and excellent understanding in researching evidence and applying it into my work. A strength of mine is the fact that I am able to dissect evidence and understand the underlying causes. In the cause and consequences, fishbones, and analysis assignments I was able to dissect the text and express the evidence in my own words. Not to mention, I research evidence and used to back up my facts in the residential school unit project.
Core Competency
I can examine evidence from various perspectives to analyze and make well-supported judgments about and interpretations of complex issues. I am able to examine text and analyze the cause and consequences. Furthermore, I am able to make proper ethical judgment’s about complex issues. I was able to examine text in the cause analysis work and understand the scenario from different perspectives. During class discussions and the unit project I was able to give a well thought out and elaborated ethical judgement.
During this unit I have quickly realized how much a post can impede your future. Whether it is for an occupation or post secondary you social media can influence what happens. I was able to identify the risks of post negative comment or posts on social media. I have learned that having your posts “private” is beneficial but it can still impact you. What you post will stay online forever. Due to these projects I have become more diligent in what i should post. Before I post I like to think if this post can impede my future. There is many risks to post on social media, however if one has a positive footprint it can help them in the future. Everyone has a digital footprint, and it can be detrimental, or beneficial.
Core Competency
–Identify risk and appreciate benefits associated with personal and public digital footprints
During this unit I was to identify the risks of posting and how it can affect one in the future. However, I also learned that having a positive footprint can help you in scenarios. Thus it is important to watch what you post and too think whether or not it will impact you negatively in the future.
-I recognize my value and advocate for my rights. I take responsibility for my choices, my actions, and my achievements.
I can recognize my values and I can stand up for myself. Furthermore, I take responsibilities for my actions whether they have a negative or positive impact. I will take responsibility for my digital footprint no matter the consequences.
-I can gather and combine new evidence with what I already know to develop reasoned conclusions, judgments, or plans.
I can gather evidence and examine it to get a fair logical conclusion. Also, I can take evidence and apply it to everyday life scenarios to make plans. Not to mention I can make proper judgement if i review the evidence presented to me.
My goal is too expand my learning and too get more “tools in the tool belt.” I can make choices that help me meet my wants and needs and increase my feelings of well-being. I take responsibility for my actions. I will make choices that will benefit me towards accomplishing my wants and needs. Furthermore, if i am faced with any consequences I will take responsibility and accept the punishment. I am working on this goal because i believe it will give me a sense of happiness during the journey and when completed. I will do this goal by creating a “SMART” goal and use strategies taught to me.
This project gave me a lot of freedom to research my country and history. I used my organization skills to organize the power point and my time. I truly enjoyed the time in his class and I will continue to use the lessons he taught us in life. Overall, this project has brought me closer to my family and it allowed me to become more patriotic about my country.
This PowerPoint slide image on the left shows a silhouette of a man and a trophy. This is image shows that everything is possible and that all you need is motivation and perseverance. It is an image that proves everyone wrong and that anyone can achieve there goal. Motivation was key for both doctors. Without the motivation whether it was death or for discovery it would never have happened. Motivation is were it all starts.
Core Competency Refection
I can analyze text from the book and put it into my own words. I was able to convert the text from the movies and books to suit my slides. I was able to back up my slides with evidence and quotations from the movie. I show a sense of accomplishment and peace when I finish a project because I feel stress feel. Further more it relieves stress off my shoulder and I feel free. Overall this project when completed made me feel accomplished and put me at peace.
I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group
During this lab if one was not organized it would prove to be very difficult to complete the task. I took on role that were put on me and everyone completed their tasks. Whether it was setting dominos or finding the right pieces for the machine each and every person had a task. Furthermore my group bonded very well and we all had faith in each other. My task was mainly the beginning of the machine where the marble drops and transfers energy to the bouncy ball that then rolls down the ramp. My main task was to find where the bouncy ball would bounce and land in order to find the starting point of the next piece of the machine. It was a challenge due to the fact that the ball was quite un predictable. However I found a area where the ball always lands and from there my partner set the next stage up. Overall the success of the machine led to the responsibility and execution of every person.
At the beginning of the year I was exhilarated and was having the time of my life. However as the months passed the work became more intense and I was more stressed. Even though it is the end of the year I am burnt-out and stressed out. I am overwhelmed about tests and labs. Not to mention finials are around the corner and I am not prepared.

Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.
I figured out what Garvey looked like by imaging in my brain what a person would look like if they had the personality of Garvey. Furthermore, I used the evidence in the text to match the description of Garvey. I also searched on the internet of what a parole officer looks like and used that to get rough sketch.
· How did you choose the plot points?
We choose the plot points by going through text in the book that Garvey stated or talked about. Furthermore, we combined like topics into one big point.
· Explain how you figured out the setting in your story. Why is the setting significant to the story?
The setting is significant because it provides the reader with context on the time, place, and environment that it takes place. I figured the setting out because it was clearly stated in the text. The place is clearly stated so is the season. I figured out the setting by carefully reading over the text and using my detective eye.
· Explain what the word mood means and how/why you picked the song that you picked?
I figured out the mood of the story by writing doneb the emotions i felt through the chapters. I then took the written done emotions and figured out what mood the book was. I then also tried to write down the mood Garvey gave off. With those pieces of information I then was able to search for a song that fit the book and Garvey.
