Reflection
I believe that this project really helped me understand the process of meiosis through use of materials, which i don’t usually learn through nowadays. That being said, even though I wasn’t used to expressing my knowledge through different materials, i think that i demonstrated the core competency of critical thinking, and i chose to do the prompt of “I can experiment with different ways of doing something”. Not only (as i said before) the way of learning the process of Meiosis a different way for me but presenting my work this way was also a bit out of my usual comfort-zone. I don’t usually present my ideas through video format, and although my videography skills are not the best i tried hard to demonstrate the process of Meiosis with the instructions we were given through a video. Also something that i demonstrated a-lot in this project was “Taking on roles and responsibilities in a group”. I ended up taking on the role of creating the video for my group and typing out the definitions of each stage, as well as setting up the materials to take the pictures in the video. Next time, i believe a thing my group and i could work on would be ” I can present information in a clearly and organized way” because now looking back at the video the photo quality is not as good as i would have hoped it would be and the video looks a little bit rushed.

Heart rate experiment- Science
Reflection:
In this science project, I not only learned how to measure ones heart rate, properly draw a graph and learn many new facts about the heart, but got to meet new people in my group and collaborate with others. I was most definetley able to use the competencies of taking on roles and responsibility’s in a group, being able to produce ideas, and being a respectful and open minded member of my group. For roles and responsibilities, I took these in by tracking our data while doing the experiment, putting this data into a graph form, and finding many facts about the heart. Nextly I produced quite a few ideas for my group such as how we will track the heart rate, the excercises etc. That being said though, I was an open minded member of my group accepting all ideas and trying to make sure that everyone got what they wanted. I was respectful to my group members and was co-operative and easy to be around. Overall, I am very pleased with this project and the end result. I learned many new things about the heart as well as believe that I showcased the core competencies. My group and I worked very hard on doing this project to the best of our abilities and I think that this project was a great way to start out the semester in science!
