Core Competency Self-Assessment for Science 10

My Artifact – Acid/Base Lab

In this lab we had to collaborate to observe the behaviour of acid, base and a neutral solution and classify six unknown and six known solutions as an acid, base or neutral solution. Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in when predicting with my lab partner what colour would appear in the reaction, and describing what colour is actually turned, and also using communication to examine the solutions and predict whether is was an acid, base or neutral solution. I make an effort to include missing voices/ perspectives by Making sure my partner had an opinion on what they thought the solution/substance was and made sure we came to a agreement on what colour it was as well. I can work with others to achieve a goal and finish tasks.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

My Artifact: Origami Paper Ring Box

I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. An example would be when we did the origami box tutorial. I made sure to listen closely so my box would turn out right and I didn’t do anything wrong. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to always make sure they aren’t confused on what we are doing in class. An example would be if I saw them struggling with the paper box I made sure to ask if they needed any help and to always help if I can. My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include making sure to watch the tutorial multiple times so I understand how to do it properly. I also made a demo box so I made sure I could make it properly. In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by answering and asking questions whenever my peers or I am confused.

Favourite Recipe

Omelet

This was my favourite recipe because it was flavourful and fun to make. I liked learning different ways to chop veggies in this recipe.

  • Add cheese on top 
  • Lift one side of the egg over the veggies
  • Cook for one more minute and season

“Explain your ability to work effectively both as individuals and collaboratively”

I am successful when working on my own but I think it is great to use communication and talk to peers when struggling with a recipe. I have the ability to talk to my peers when struggling. If i‘m struggling when working individually I try my best to use critical thinking to solve what i’m struggling with.

Core Competency Reflection

While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend my understanding by asking questions and using critical thinking.

If there is a disagreement within the group, i find it helpful to know everyone options and try to compromise.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see them conjoining there thoughts and ideas.
