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.
