Core competency paragraph reflection.

The core competency I chose for this science experiment was Critical thinking. I can reflect on and evaluate my thinking, products, and, actions. I demonstrated this after the project when I had to reflect on how I did, I had to evaluate my actions (what I did in the project). I can ask open-ended questions and gather information. I demonstrated this when we were creating ideas for the experiment, for the experiment we had to complete 40 push ups and drink a litre of water. I asked questions like why we had to do so many push ups and why we had drink so much water. I can moniter my progress and adjust my actions to make sure I achieve what I want. I think I shown a lot of critical thinking in this heart rate experiment.

 

For this science experiment I think I demonstrated Critical thinking. I can explore materials and actions. For this project we needed to complete 40 push-ups, I decided to explore actions to make the push-ups easier, but still put the same amount of effort. I can experiment with different ways of doing things. When we were coming up with ideas for this experiment, I had some ideas for what we could do. The idea was to do 40 push ups, but I had the idea of doing other activity’s such as jumping, jumping jacks or, running. We tested them and ended up doing push ups because it made us work the hardest. I think demonstrated mostly Critical thinking in this science experiment.

 

What I could have improved. I think I should have communicated my ideas more. When we creating our ideas for the project I wanted to do 20 push ups for the project rather then 40, also drink a bottle of water rather then a litre. We ended up drinking a litre of water because i didn’t stand up for my idea of drinking a bottle a of water. I think we could have finish the project over a shorter period of time. the project should have taken three days, but instead we finished it a week. Fortunately I a accomplished a lot in this experiment more then i failed.

    Media and Information:
    You have properly integrated your media into your blog and chosen a format which does an excellent job of presenting your assignment. All information clearly relates to the core competency you have chosen. You include several insightful supporting details and/or examples of how you demonstrated the competency.
    Organization:
    Reflection is very organized with at least 3 well-constructed paragraphs which do an excellent job of communicating your ideas. Your paragraphs use the language of the core competency to thoroughly describe how you addressed the core competency and how you plan to further apply it in the future
