Pillar: Lab Skills

In my current work in Physics 11 labs, I consistently showcase strong skills in following lab procedures and maintaining accurate data records. I approach each experiment with a focused mindset, ensuring that every step is executed with precision and attention to detail. This commitment to meticulousness not only ensures the quality of our scientific findings but also saves me the time of redoing the procedure

Acknowledging areas for improvement is crucial for growth. I’m aware of the need to enhance my critical thinking skills, particularly when analyzing conclusion questions. Additionally, I’m working on strengthening my ability to recall and apply basic significant figures, which are fundamental in scientific calculations. I also want to work on better cleaning up and organizing my work in labs

At the conclusion of each unit, my objective is to consistently achieve a 4/4 score on all my lab conclusions. To accomplish this, I will thoroughly review my past conclusions as well as those of others, doing this to pinpoint my strengths and areas needing improvement. Furthermore, I intend to ask more clarifying questions during experiments to improve my understaning of the lab and ensure well thought out conclusions.

Revisiting Midterm Goal Setting – June 17th

I am proud to say that I met my goal of getting a 4/4 score on my lab conclusions. In the pulley lab, I scored 9.5/10 overall and received a perfect 4/4 on my conclusion. Similarly, in the friction lab, I achieved a flawless 10/10 overall and another 4/4 on my conclusion. These high scores were a result of my clear and consistent explanations, which I worked hard to develop. Throughout my lab work, I encountered both successes and challenges. One notable success was my deep understanding of the topics, which I achieved by meticulously reviewing the lab contents and ensuring that I grasped every detail. However, I also faced challenges, particularly when the lab instructions did not provide enough information for me to fully understand the concepts. To overcome this obstacle, I took the initiative to conduct additional research online, which greatly enhanced my comprehension. Moving forward, I aim to continue focusing on achieving the highest grade possible by dedicating even more time to studying and understanding the material. I believe that with persistence and a proactive approach, I can maintain and even improve my performance in future lab work.

If link isn’t working I sent it to you

1. Questions

  1. How was it discovered

2. How Dangerous is it to Humans

3. How is it used

4. What is it made of

5. What makes it unique

6. How is it made

2. I used google and a bit of

3. My process was going on google and going through info to find info that was cited and what I wanted to find. I also went on to look at other cites if the facts were the same and cited it with a citation machine

4. my process went decently well but I want to be able to find the info faster next time

Reflection

– Your experiences creating this assignment.

My groups entire expiernce was very tedious and tiring because of the many obstacles that we faced such as one of us not taking the work seriously so it created a work environment where some of us had to do more then others

– Your group’s path in researching the topic.

To Research are topic we started using links Ms. Henderson showed us but overtime start mainly focusing on two websites  Gale and CBC news. we used Gale  for more of the statisticle parts like how many of the current prison population is Indigenous  and CBC to get more of the stories and points of view on like a story of the protested getting excecive force used on pipline protesters.

– Obstacles or items you learnt in recording.

During recording we faced many issues such as managing are time during recording which caused us to repeatedly have to add on to are writing and trying to talk slower. We also struggled with trying to get everybody in one place to record because we forgot to get the contact information of one are members. Another Issues we had was trying to get all of are members to cooperate together. After finishing this assignment because of all of these issues I learned to always get contact info of all of my group members ,to remember to manage my time better and to make sure I chose group members that I will actually work well with

– Reflection on one of the below core competency questions.

 1: Critical Thinking … How does your artifact tie in with what you have learned before? How has your thinking changed? What made it change?
This artifact ties in with a past project  where I had to create a powerpoint about a specific places indigenous people and how the have been affected by the non indigenous people. My thinking has changed from thinking that when people talk about indigenous incarceration there only talking about the residential schools to both residential schools and current day incarceration. My thinking changed because of the fact that there is alot of people talking about it and all of the crazy issues that I learned during this project like the fact that

Since 2010, the incarceration of non-Indigenous people went down by 13%, while the incarceration of Indigenous people went up by 43%.
