Squid dissection

Personal Social

I can persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning and behavior. The first challenge was the initial discomfort of handling the squid—it was slimy, cold, and had a distinct odor that made some of my classmates uneasy. However, I reminded myself of the educational value and pushed through. Throughout the process, I learned not only about squid anatomy but also about perseverance and resilience. Each step required concentration and determination to overcome any squeamishness or uncertainty. By the end of the dissection, I felt a sense of accomplishment and a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of biological systems. Reflecting on this experience, I realized that challenges like dissecting a squid are opportunities for growth. They teach us patience, problem-solving skills, and the importance of pushing through difficulties to achieve our goals. This experience has since encouraged me to approach challenges in other areas of my life with a similar mindset of determination and ownership.

Communication

I can represent my learning and tell how it connects to my experiences. Dissecting a squid in school and scuba diving may seem different at a glance, but both activities share a need to explore, understand anatomy, and overcoming challenges. Both activities require a strong sense of curiosity and a drive to learn. Just like I needed to understand the anatomy of a squid during dissection, scuba divers must familiarize themselves with the underwater environment and the behavior of marine organisms to dive safely and responsibly. Both activities foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world, and dissecting a squid allowed me to gain insight into its biological functions and adaptations. Scuba diving provides firsthand encounters with marine ecosystems and their inhabitants and allows me to explore an unusual part of our earth. These two topics are linked through my passion and curiosity of both and my wish to pursue learning in both.

Thinking

I consider more than one way to proceed in an investigation. Approaching the dissection of a squid with a mindset that considers multiple approaches is important in navigating the difficulties of this task. By contemplating various methods before dissecting, such as looking at anatomical diagrams, discussing strategies with my friends, and seeking guidance from my teachers, I can show thorough understanding of squid anatomy. During the dissection itself, remaining flexible and calm allows me to adjust my dissection techniques based on the specimen, ensuring a full exploration of the required structures. Learning multiple ways to proceed not only helps a deeper learning experience but also develops my problem-solving skills as I navigate through the difficulties of Bio 11 dissections.

communication and collaboration

This is a image of a group lab.

I can work with others to achieve a goal. I show that I value feedback from others in my group by asking them what they think and what we could to improve on. Working with others to achieve a goal in the group is easier then trying to complete by yourself because have the extra help and being able to ask them questions and just bounce idea’s off of one another helps to achieve the goal faster. knowing feedbback from the other people in your group is neccesary and helps get the groupwork or project done faster, everyone in a group has a voice weither they use it or not i think everyone would acomplish more if everyone used their voice for this project me and my friend wdid a bouncing ball lab basically dropping a bouncy ball from different hights and we callobrated our ideas and if somthing didn’t go right we talked to eachother about it and figured it out and that helpped us get the best mark possible because we did everything to the best of our abilitys

Scones

Making and Sharing Reflection

Making: Make a step by step plan for production: before the actual cooking day we come in and grab a recipe then we will most likely watch a video of what we are making then start to fill out the recipe sheet. After we mostly finish filling out the sheet we watch the demo. While watching the demo we finish filling out the sheet. The next day is the cooking day and we reread the recipe and start getting ready for cooking it. After talking to our partner we get all the necessary items and tools in order to make the scones. then we get to cooking. After making the batter we put them in the oven and after a couple minutes we pulled them out. Sharing: Decide on how and with whom to share prepared food products: For the scones with a partner we made four scones in total but we each got 2 and it really was up to us if we were to share the scones. We individually got two each. It was really up to us making the decision of sharing one of them or eating them both. But most of us wanted our family or friends to try these declivous scones so we saved them.

Core competency reflection

As an active listener, I notice that I pay attention and watch what ever I’m doing carefully and ask questions when I need to. I also notice that do better when I listen more closely, and when I am an active listener I also can help other people with the things that they missed information wise. When I listen and watch I gain and retain more information and I also notice that if I don’t actively listen I miss out on important information that I might need now or later. One way i make sure my group in clear on the common purpose is to ask them questions and sort of quiz them for what we are doing, and to ask them what the common purpose of the lap is. I also ask them lots of questions and I tell them that they can ask me anything if they forget anything.

Communication

Artifact

The artifact I chose was from one of the days we did group work it ties into communication. the reason it ties in is because we had to come up with ideas with our group that we were put into and we shared each others ideas with one another. we ended up agreeing on some of the ideas and we put it into the section we were working on and answering the question as well. I think I grew in communication by listing to others ideas and explaining my own ideas to the best of my abilities, I responded nicely and considerate of their emotions and how they would feel. I shared and presented my ideas about the question “What kind of impression of the residential school does this minute leave?” to my group and making sure they understood what I was trying to get across. I could improve on being more open to others ideas and my own and putting the information I was trying to share out into simpler terms not to confuse anyone who im trying to explain to.
