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.

Reflection

An aspect in my life I believe I excel at is definitely getting enough sleep. I never stay up late, I physically can’t and I just don’t like it. I also think I eat well at sometimes, but on some days I don’t and eat junk. An aspect in my life I think I could improve on is being more active and having a regular eating habit. I do kickboxing on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I want to start working out on the weekends as well. My eating at the moment is random, and I think I would benefit and be more healthy if I had normal eating times and not eating as much junk. One of my core competencies I demonstrated strongly during this unit were personal and social skills. I had to be aware of what I was doing and eating throughout the week, which were my personal skills, and I also had to make sure I’d connect with people, which were my social skills.

Creative Thinking

I demonstrated creative thinking with this photo by coming up with a jolly scene and putting objects together to make it look appealing, and to give it the jolly feeling. Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are brainstorming, planning, and doing experiments to see what works and what doesn’t. When faced with ambiguity or setbacks, I look back on notes or ask questions to advance the development of my ideas. An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is color theory because I was able to show my understanding of it perfectly in this photo. One strategy that stimulates my imagination is looking at other photos for reference or ideas.
