Thinking Core Competency

In lab 19C, I used evidence to judge what would happen to the solutions within the test tubes. The first tubes on the rack were heavy precipitates that looked almost like velvet or silk but eventually sank to the bottom of the tube. Knowing that the first set created heavy precipitates, it can be inferred that the further down the rack (the more diluted the solution is), the less precipitate will form until none is formed. Following the gathering of this information I was able to create data that corresponds to the results of the lab to demonstrate my understanding.

The use of creative thinking was a vital component of creating the Catapult. There were many ways of creating the catapult, but given the materials we had, we created what can be seen above. When pressed down, the spoon launches the ball. Our base was quite sturdy, and nothing broke, but instead of getting distance, we got height. The competition was for distance and not height, which resulted in our ball getting launched into a light. In the end, we were unable to fix the height issue, but we were still able to create a successful catapult that launched the ball.
