Competencies

For our first experiment which we ran on our own, critical thinking became very important. It started with creating an experiment. We tested three different levels of voltage to determine which would be the best for finding the current. I started off with the idea of having 4 cells, but as I tested it, I realized that the voltage would interfere with the amps.

This showed me that often you need to revaluate your experiment to create a better procedure. When we got our results, we had related the data to why a certain thing happened. I also had good monitoring skills when it came to different steps along the way. This ensured that my experiment controls were perfect.

For the future, I want to be able to have more opinions and perspectives on creating a procedure. This will give me a higher chance of creating a successful experiment. Sometimes I misunderstand the difference between a hypothesis between a data related inference. I hope that eventually, I will be able to find a fine line between facts and guesses. This will make sure that I am able to find correct and approvable.
