I was able to critically think and talk to my partner during this lab experiment by asking questions to him about he and I wanted to do and where to start, and the teacher important questions on how to proceed with something I was unsure about, not only that but by thinking about past experiences with similar projects I was able to get an idea of how some of the components of my project would work.
Design aspect
The design aspect of this project was internally simple towards the end but at the start it was quite difficult finding what pieces we would need to create a stable environment to get consistent results, so that me and my partner could continue on building the contraption.
We didn’t really have a set in stone end result we were going for, it was mainly just adding onto what we already had and seeing if it worked well and properly. In my head I may have had an idea of what I wanted to do but towards the end it was just about getting something good enough to end off on.
If I were to do this project again I would certainly take a different approach, and actually make a plan, since i didn’t know what materials I had at disposal I couldn’t go all out.
What was something I didn’t know or consider before?
The first thing that I learnt, was how fast that I had to do chest compressions. It was a shock to how tiring the practice was, especially when you had to use the AED, continuing to do chest compressions for 1 minute 45 seconds straight was extremely tiring, and left me weak for a few minutes after doing the exercise
One of the key takeaways I took from the practical test was how awkward it is to yell out those commands to people around you (even though i wasn’t talking to anyone) to get help.
How does this unit coincide with the Nutrition Unit?
In both units we talked about the downsides of Smoking, Obesity, and the upsides of exercise and proper nutrition. Because all of the things I listed contribute to your wellbeing as a living person, the stuff we do everyday can determine whether we get health impacts later on in life.
Core Competency Reflection
Communication
I was able to communicate clearly and loudly when asking people to go call EMS or 911, and get an AED. During this I also counted out loud counting the chest compressions that I had completed before getting to thirty and doing the breaths.
Thinking
One more area that I would like to spend more time on was the difference between Heart attacks, Strokes, and Cardiac Arrests, I know the bare minimum which is good but I would like to learn more about the differences so I can know on the spot.
Personal Social
In this unit I am glad that I was able to get my Certificate of CPR and pass with an 80% I feel that this is a mediocre score and wasn’t to the best of my abilities.
I can communicate my needs with the teacher, to seek assistance during class to get the necessary help that I need to exceed to the best of my ability during class. Examples of this would be asking either the peer tutors or the teacher to help explain topics or ask about specific spelling and accents, to properly learn the language.
I can/am able to, reflect on my own thinking and others to come to a conclusion to an answer for a specific question, or objective. I present this ability during group discussions and projects where I have to collaborate with other classmates to complete assignments.
I can use strategies that keep me in the know with group projects and assignments if I’m not in the classroom, if some other classmates were not in the class, I can inform them of what they missed and can help them to understand the topics.
Artifact
With this project I talked and collaborated with my partner to get a better understanding of what ideas they had/wanted to do, I did this to ensure that they felt included in the project and that they’re ideas felt heard and wanted. We ended up going along with the persons idea and I felt the project went well.
My goal is to complete this semester, is to end with at least a B average. I can accomplish this goal by completing my homework as soon as I walk in the door, and then studying for 20-30 minutes. I can then take a 5–8-minute break to recuperate and continue reviewing and building upon what I do and don’t know.
I would like to become a more organized person as whole, whether it be making sure my room is clean or cleaning up my binder more often, I can support this healthy life style by setting reminders on my phone to clean my things on a regular basis.
s Violence necessary during a Revolution or Protest?
The AI was very helpful in doing research it allowed me to gain information in a compact format, instead of going through articles that would take me 7-15 minutes to read through.
A way that I made sure the work I created was mine, was putting it into words that I would use, I also didn’t use that much AI for the arguments, I only used it to generate ideas so that I could then build off of them to create something of my own.
I did agree with the point I argued for I believe that if needed, it is ok to have violence in a revolution.

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks included, using information in past lessons on this topic and using AI or websites to gather specific information.
I was about to compile information that I received and to come to a conclusion on what info can help me and the topic that I was arguing for, Examples of this are my arguments that I made for the pro side of is Violence necessary in a Revolution
This year I have learned how to take apart and rebuild an engine, I also learned how to properly make prototype drawing of hydraulic arms and mouse trap cars.
My Useful Educational Website
I used Perplexity AI to help me gain ideas and information so I could hand in projects with correct and useful facts.
math antics – YouTube This video greatly helped me understand inequalities in algebraic equations. The channel as a whole can be very useful
My Useful educational Image
I used math antics to get math help all throughout my second semester to better understand mathematics. This has also helped in past years like middle school to get understandable lessons on how to do math problems properly.
My Inspirational Quote
“To many people have opinions they know nothing about. And the more ignorant they are the more opinions they have.”
I like this quote because I think its true. Too many people have opinions on issues with which they do not know much about the topic on. This reminds me why it is important to ensure we don’t jump to conclusions.

Canada has traditions such as Indigenous Pow Wows, the yearly Calgary stampede in July, and the “famous” Canadian dish Poutine. Peru has Ceviche which is a cold cooked fish marinated in Lime, lemon, and orange juice, which is topped with thinly cut onions.
Canada has created some important sports in the world such as, Hockey, Basketball, Lacrosse and some more. Peru hasn’t created any sports but the most played is soccer, or football (what they call it)
There are great landmarks and attractions in Canada such as the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto Ontario, CN Tower Toronto Ontario, The Northern Lights in Yellowknife North west territories, and at lest 27 more. Peru has the Machu Picchu Ruins and their cities.
Special holidays are very cherished here in canada and some of them are the National Flag day which is celebrated during February 15. Peru has many holidays such as Saint Rose of Lima, Immaculate Conception day, and Perus independence day.
Canada doesn’t have a specialty in music but most of the country listens to a wide variety of music usually being Pop songs, Rock songs, or Rap. Peruvians like to listen to Cumbia music, Salsa music or Huayno style.
Core Competency Reflection
I am able to consider and look at different websites, to see what facts match up or lead towards not being true. This helped me really go and dig deeper into this project, and actually want to find true facts/statements for my project to be the best it can be.
I am able to inquire on different present topics to make sure all of information is up to date and cover all topics of conversation.
I take on responsibility and roles that need to be done in a group, examples of this are making the script for the statements, and facts I put on my poster board. I also printed the script and pasted all of the information I gathered for the project and my teammates, so we could present our project.
I work towards gathering present and important information for my project that could affect a traveler’s interest in going somewhere new or where they might want to go differently in the country.
Asking questions is something that I can do consistently and confidently, examples of these actions are in science where I can ask confident and productive answers that could help me or my peers while in the classroom, and when I need help for myself if I don’t understand something properly. Another place where I can express this ability is in Power Technology, except displaying these factors when I need confirmation about an engine part/location and or a missing part, or needing an explanation of something said in the booklet.

A way that this strength can help me meet my challenges are, clarifying my doubts, when I ask questions I mostly have a vague idea of what I’m doing and just want to clarify on what we are doing or if the questions I’m answering are correct. Asking questions it can improve my communication skills and can make it easier to express my thoughts and ideas on the situation.
Something I learned with public speaking, is that it only gets easier the more you do it. Even though we have only done one stand up speaking assignment/speech, I feel that it was a way better experience then my other public speaking assignments/speeches. Maybe this is because I did a few when I was in Middle/Elementary, or maybe it was because I was up with some friends. But I think the biggest thing that makes a good speaker is confidence, if your confident in what your saying and actually project your voice, I think that people are more likely to listen because of your confidence. When someone is doing a speech its always good etiquette to be quiet and listen to the speaker because if it were you up there speaking you would want the crowd/class to be quiet and listen to what you have to say right? So why not show the same when someone else is up there speaking.
Collaborating Core Competency Reflection
Ways I include my group members is if someone hasn’t talked for a while or just hasn’t at all, I would say “well lets hear from _______” and if they don’t have anything in mind, then I would come back to them at a later time.
Something I like to do before dividing tasks upon group members… Is asking if they have a certain job that they would like to do, and if two people have the same interest, then they can just rock paper scissors to decide who gets the role.
If I notice that my group needs help, we can try spending two-three minutes trying to figure out the problem and if we can’t, then I would call over a peer tutor or teacher. This strategy allows our group to think for ourselves and in doing so, possibly figuring the issue.
Ways I like to show gratitude towards others ideas are… saying thank you that was a great idea, and or making sure I let everyone else have an opportunity to share their ideas
My goal
One of my ongoing goals if self respect and respecting others, something I notice about myself is that I’m not the nicest person that I can be. And I think that I do really need to work on this attribute about my self, while working in the group I felt I may have shut down ideas which was rude of my to do. And working on this will allow me to open more doors to people who may not want to associate with a rude or mean person. Something I can do to improve this is to listen more and try to be nicer to more people I meet.
