Critical/Reflective Thinking

I used my critical and reflective thinking skills during the single and double replacement lab by analyzing the products of the experiments, using my analyzing skills to write feedback about the experiment, and how I researched before the experiment. In order to classify the what the product was and what qualities it had, I had to analyze carefully throughout the reactions. For example, this picture shows the product of the silver nitrate and copper pieces reaction. This reaction took a total of ten minutes to fully complete, and I had to watch it very carefully throughout those ten minutes, and write about it. Writing about the products is where used my analyzing skills to write feedback. I had to really pay attention so I could go into detail while reflecting. To analyze these products correctly, I had to learn about them in class and study hard so I could be more confident while classifying the products. My critical and reflective thinking skills helped me with this lab, because we had to balance, classify, and write about single and double reactions a lot.
