A & P 12 Core Competency Edublog

In the Cell Membrane Diffusion Lab communication is a key factor in having the most accurate and best results for cell osmosis. Initially setting up the cell was the most arduous step. Poor communication would result in a loose cell that would leak out the solutions within or it would result in a cell that would not diffuse properly due to a lack of turgor pressure. Later in the lab, everyone in the group communicated their thoughts on which direction the molecules in the solutions would diffuse and we each commented and added to the conversation thoroughly.

During the Cell Membrane Diffusion Lab, I analyzed the evidence given to present accurate predictions for cell diffusion direction. Using both thinking and communication we predicted in which direction the molecules would diffuse through the semi-permeable membrane. These connections were able to be made due to the scientific evidence provided to us.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Communication

I was able to collaborate and communicate with my partner to complete this assignment. Throughout the journey of this assignment, we were able to create a Dichotomous key for buttons that we got in a bag. We split up the work so that he did one-half of the buttons and I did the other half. Once we had our basic layout we worked together to figure out the definitive layout for our key.
