Another assignment I created last quarter was The Seed Germination Experiment. This work sample is about creating a hypothesis on what would happen if we placed seeds in a Ziplock bag. The experiment is conducted and we have to observe and analyze the data. Once 2 weeks have passed and we are satisfied with our results we determine whether or not our hypothesis was right.
I decided to share this work sample on my portfolio because it is a perfect example of a 21st century skill used in today's world. This work sample is also relevant on the learning and usage of the scientific method, a key component for the said 21st century skill. Therefore, this assignment is another instance of 21st century skills being put to use by application of the scientific method used to solve problems.
This assignment represents a 21st century skill with the usage of the scientific method. This assignment uses Thinking and Problem Solving skills by applying the scientific method (problem, hypothesis, experiment, observation, analysis, conclusion.) This makes sense because the student has to think of a problem, conduct an experiment, and then observe their findings and answer it, thus solving their problem.
This sample demonstrates my current growth by displaying my usage and process of the scientific method. This assignment also demonstrates my ability to think of a problem, undergo a process, analyze the findings, and come up with a solution or an answer to prove whether or not it was a true statement.
I could have a more detailed problem and a more understandable hypothesis. I could also come up with more interesting observations and more detailed analysis of data. I would like to answer the problem and hypothesis more thoroughly and more in-depth. I also could've been more careful with my seeds because some seeds did not grow roots, shoots or both. I also could've watered it more frequently to ensure the plants grow safer.
I am most proud and enlightened about the results and observation I have collected. I am also proud of the data and my findings which are presented in my conclusion statement. I can use this lab/assignment as yet again another standpoint for Thinking and Problem Solving for harder assignments that require the scientific method in order to get an adequate grade. Therefore, I decided that this assignment was worthy of discussing about by the usage of the scientific method, how it demonstrates my current growth and how i could improve based on my findings.
