I can analyze evidence to make judgement. During this lab we were tasked with the challenge of figuring out whether our solutions were an acid or a base. I was prompted to mix two solutions together to identify its properties. Through this lab I was able to come to my own conclusions based on the scientific data we collected. I was successfully able to identify the solutions properties and determine the formers, pH range. This allowed me to have hands-on experience with the topic, further allowing me to deepen my own learning, while supporting my group members simultaneously. This lab was a true testament of my abilities as a scientist. I collected evidence and data of the solutions and came to my own conclusions on what they were, based on their physical/chemical changes.

Critically evaluate the success of meals, and explain how design ideas contribute to the individual, family, community, and environment
meals are an integral part of human life and their success can be evaluated based on several factors such as nutritional value, cultural significance, taste, convenience, and environmental impact. Design ideas can play a crucial role in improving the success of meals by promoting healthy eating habits, supporting sustainable food systems, and fostering social connections. Well-designed meals can benefit individuals by providing them with the necessary nutrients, enhancing their overall well-being, and improving their quality of life. They can also bring families and communities together, strengthening social bonds and promoting a sense of belonging. Moreover, sustainable food systems can help reduce the environmental impact of food production and consumption, contributing to a healthier planet for future generations.
Core Competency Reflection
The ways I communicate while cooking differ from how I communicate in Muay Thai
As a sport Muay Thai is very self driven, besides the help of a coach you are mostly on your own. You are responsible for your own victories and are responsible for your own defeats. Unlike in the kitchen where you must rely on the help of your group members to create a dish that meets product standards and is finished efficiently on time.
If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to
Take a step back, a breath, and try to view the issue from your group members pov. Most issues can be dealt with through good communication.
I show others that I truly value their contributions by
My vocabulary, when I notice something that my group members have done that is impressive, I am not afraid to let them know exactly what I am thinking.
What is one goal you have for yourself going forward? Identify one of the areas below that you intend on working towards.
As an active listener, I notice that I
As someone with a lot on my mind I find it difficult to actively listen, as I am constantly looking for opportunities to contribute. Moving forward I believe allowing group members to contribute more, while actively listening to them will be mutually beneficial for everyone.
What is your strength in group work? How do you use this to actively contribute during group work activities?
During Group work my greatest strength is my ability to include others into the process. I believe to truly understand a concept is to be able to explain it to others. I am generally a very social person I enjoy and work best when I can bounce my ideas off of someone else. During group activities this is a significant aid, as group dynamics are not awkward and everything is fluid. Being a grade younger then all my peers originally seemed like it would be an adjustment, but due to my social skills, I am able to not only work, but contribute with the others in my groups.
How do you prepare for a test? Does this seem to work for you? Are there changes you need to make to ensure your are successful?
To prepare for my test I ensure that all my homework is finished and done to the best of my abilities. Outside of school time, I constantly review previous lessons, taking a look at the previous days notes and trying to understand them. So far, I am not where I want to be. The aforementioned habits, have helped me develop some sort of an understanding of the topics, but I still have a lot of learning to do. A change I can make to succeed in this course is to acquire a peer tutor to review over the concepts learnt in class. I believe this will help me develop a deeper understanding and increase test scores.
