Curricular Response
Through the egg drop lab, we tried working logically and we tried to make cushioning by wrapping our egg in newspaper and putting the cardboard sticking out of the bottom to break the landing. For the golf tower, we tried making a big base to support the weight of the ball. this didn’t work so well for us because, in the end, our support beams were too long and flimsy. through both these labs, the scientific lab helped me and my partner out because it gave us solitude. what I mean by that is it gave us things to look at in the lab and it was a good structure for our observations and information.
Core Competency Self Assessment
I liked the golf tower scientific lab more because even though it didn’t go very well I definitely felt that I and Rome were starting to get a base and we were really starting to pick things up, but unfortunately, that was when the time was ending.
A lot of the challenges we faced were fixable problems. But it wouldn’t have been possible if I and Rome didn’t start working together. in the beginning, I had an idea and it failed, so Rome tried his idea and it failed. everything didn’t start working till we both attacked the problem together. if only w
These 2 labs helped me understand the scientific method more because they showed me how to prove a guess/hypothesis it also showed me the importance of observations and how to use them. Moving forward to my grade 10 year I feel that I am ready to do my hypothesis, observations, and analyses anytime I am asked thanks to these experiments.
Core Competency Creative Thinking
I demonstrated that I can create new things when I communicated with my teammate to form ideas and work through any hardships I had with the project or with my partner.
I demonstrated that I can build on the ideas of others when I ask my partner about his thoughts on the subject at hand. When I put and share my ideas and try to troubleshoot with my partner. When I listen to my partner when they would like to speak and incorporate them into the assignment
When trying new things, I expect setbacks and failures and use them to develop my ideas. An example of this from the Scientific Method labs would be when I am making my hypothesis I can use and incorporate my observations and research to properly form a hypothesis. using the conclusion to learn and get ready for the next experiment
