Share the experience of critical/reflective thinking for your artifact (Consider strategies you
used to solve a problem, how you analyzed evidence to make decisions or draw conclusions,
how you used feedback to improve, how you conducted investigations into topics, and what you
would improve on for next time)
During this lab i used critical thinking to solve the inconsistent parts of the lab and to find way to transfer energy and make energy transformations. when it came to the car sliding down into the dominos, the contact point of the dominos wouldn’t hit the marble right. Resulting in the marble not having enough speed to go around the track. The group collectively thought of ways to fix this, we ended up with putting markers where the dominos hit the marble best. We had brainstormed multiple ideas but came to the conclusion that marking the spot was the best, because it showed us that it was most consistent, in where the car hit the dominos and the speed at which the car would go on average.
The group would suggest ideas to each other to brainstorm ideas and give eachother feedback on where it could go wrong or the how it could possibly work without any drawbacks.
Something i would do differently next lab would be to try an make our machine more creative and cleaner looking.
