Math Self Assessment

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?

I’m not a good at remembering or in general math so I take extra measures for each math test. I usually get peer tutored by a friend to ensure I understand the work, or I get my work checked and corrected / taught by my brother who is attending grade 12 physics currently. For math tests, I usually get a few hours of peer tutoring the day before or 2 days prior to the test, as well as multiple hours studying at home. Recently I believe I have been missing some things to study that are testable which is effecting my mark. I am studying a lot I just believe I need to spread out that study time and ensure I understand everything rather then mastering the more important parts.

What is your strength in group work? How do you use this to actively contribute during group work activities?

My strength in group work is overall just working together, understanding ideas, and expressing my methods and thinking. I use these skills to showcase my work in an orderly format while expressing the ways I do the given questions. I also learn best when I am grouped up with friends that I can communicate with and ask as many questions as I can.

Science 10 Core Competency Self-Assessment

Communication and Creative Thinking

This lab represented many different core competencies but communication and creative thinking stuck out to me the most. In this lab we had to make use of the things in the room to keep one pop can full of water cold, and another pop can filled with water as hot as it can. Used lots of the winter snow outside help up around the can with tin foil to keep the cold can as cold as we could bringing it all the way down to waters freezing point (0°C) for plenty of minutes. For the hot can we used a kettle to heat up hot water then pouring the hot water into a cup surrounding the can heating up the can to a certain extent. We then used bright hot lights to speed up and increase the heat of the hot can. We all contributed to the cans with most of the work going into the hot can and a pretty basic setup going into the cold can. We all thought as a team as the best ways to heat up and keep the can cold. Many people used the same equipment and strategies as us resulting in a room full of lights staring down at their cans.

My Learning of CPR

What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before?

I didn’t know the steps and important key factors to preforming CPR. I didn’t know the 30 chest compressions rule, the safety processions and form.

What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit?

the hand over wrist form, and knowing how to to the EAD + knowing how to assess hazards.

How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously?

Because having a bad nutrition can lead to attacks that require CPR and sometimes an AED to revive the patient.

I can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life
My family has a history of heart attacks and strokes, I may need to use it incase something like that happens. My mom also has high blood pressure.

One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is…
If someone ever asks me how to preform CPR I can confidently tell them the steps and the rules I learned

One area of CPR in which I’d like to spend more time learning is…
I would like to learn more terms, also have perfect form and confidence.
