Curricular competency reflection
My research topic was chemistry of instant ice packs which were created to help relieve pain fast and efficiently. The main chemistry concepts of this topic are , how instant ice packs are evidence of an endothermic reaction. which is obviously cold the products of these instant ice packs is water and ammonuim nitrate. A problem this instant ice packs at times can have are if they get left on your skin too long you can burn your skin. Another problem they have is when they are disposed they turn into plastic waste. A couple interesting facts of instant ice packs is they’ve been around longer than you might think. in 1959 instant ice packs were invented by Albert A Robbins. Another insteresting thing about instant ice packs are they they don’t have to be frozen just snapped to become cold which is what makes them so special.
Core competency reflection
- I can use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this . I did this by claiming how instant ice packs are very special which they are. Because they don’t even have to be frozen to be put into use just snapped into play.
- An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is, I showed whats in the which is water and ammonuim nitrate and how the chemical reaction works
- I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work evidence of that is, I didn,t get to choose the topic of instant ice packs it was given to me. I had to learn about these which were totally new to me. and show my evidence of my learning in my infographic project.
