Best titration out of the 4 we did

Communication Competency:

I can work with others to achieve a goal. In this lab I demonstrated my ability to work with a partner to yield a wonderful result. As shown in the first artifact, my partner and I obtainted a near perfect neutralization. The indicator, phenolphthalein, was barely producing a pink colour in the liquid. This shows how good of a result was produced during this titration. We acquired this result through effective team work. My partner was doing the drops, while I was swishing the acid-base combo around inside the flask. When my partner was doing half drops I was using the distilled water to drop the base into the flask. Eventually I was able to produce my own half drops after my partner taught me, further proving how I demonstrated collaboration with others. Through our potent teamwork we were able to achieve an excellent titration.

Core Competency Reflection:

By explaining my groupwork to peers in the classroom, I make a positive difference to my peers. If somebody doesn’t understand a concept, or how to do a question, I always try and explain it to them. When doing groupwork I am able to show my work as an example.

The way I communicate at school differs from how I communicate at soccer practice. The biggest difference between how I communicate at school vs at practice is that I am more blunt and hard on people at practice. Since I am familiar with all my teammates, and I take on a “Team Captain” role, I try to push them harder than I would to classmates at school.

When I need to refocus on a task, I set myself a challenge. For example, if there is 20 minutes left in class to finish our homework, and I have been unfocused, I try and see how many questions can I get done in 10 minutes. I end up focusing and getting into a rhythm, which lets me focus for the full 20 minutes.

Some of the ways I work to maintain relationships are: communication and honesty. I try to have clear communication that goes both ways in any sort of relationship that I am in. If somebody does something that upsets me, I’ll tell them straight up, and I try to be a person who invites other people to tell me when I do something that upsets them. Honesty is also key, because lying to people, or talking about them behind their back is bound to cause trouble.
