Personal Awareness and Responsibility:

When I am sad, angry or frustrated, doing… helps me be more productive or calm….During the flatworm lab, I got frustrated because the flatworm wouldn’t eat no matter what I tried. I tried different ways to encourage it to feed, but nothing seemed to work. I started to feel stressed and worried that I wouldn’t be able to complete the experiment. I decided to take a break for a few minutes and let the flatworm rest. I stepped away from the lab to give both the flatworm and myself some space. When I came back, I felt calmer, and the flatworm eventually started to feed. This showed me that being patient and stepping away when things aren’t working can help me solve problems and focus better. It also helped me realize that sometimes a little distance can give me a new perspective on the situation, making it easier to figure out what to do next.
