Goals: The goal of this assignment was to understand mitosis. We put eggs into vinegar until they dissolved then put them into either syrup or water to see how they would change.
Why I chose this project: I chose to put this lab into my portfolio because beyond being strangely interesting I also did the lab myself with my own data.
21st Century Skills: Information: this project uses Information Skills to take down data and to use it. Self-directional: This project was individual so it was self-directional. Thinking and Problem Solving: This project mostly used thinking but also problem solving math-wise when calculating percentages.
Current Growth: Well, for one, I actually read the lab directions because in a previous lab I just didn’t read it and it caused the demise of that lab. I showed how I did it because I kept a table and made a chart on the data. It shows my interest (my counter is still sticky).
New Growth: I would probably try to make sure each step is done properly. Some steps I skimmed by and it may have skewed the answers a little bit.
