Core Competency Self-Assessment

Thinking core competency

The above artifact is a photo from a flame lab done in class. The lab consisted of putting a chemical on a Q-tip then putting it to the flame to see the flame colour change. We recorded our observations of each reaction the flame had to the chemical. Afterwards we got unlabelled chemicals and had to figure out what they were based on the flames reaction. I used the thinking core competency to determine what the unlabelled chemicals were. We then had to complete questions relating to the lab. Some questions allowed you to analyze your knowledge from the lab. Other questions required you to think deeper by gathering information from the lab and apply previously learned information to come to conclusions. I used thoughts from myself, my partner, the lab, and the classroom to respond to questions and participate within the lab.
