  1. How well were you able to meet these two standards through this assessment and what evidence is there in your assessment that you met the standards? Be specific about evidence.

    When looking back to the previous assessment, I believe that I was able to meet these standards very well. The data that I collected was specific to the question that I decided to pursue for my experiment. After completing the procedure for completing the experiment, I documented the step-by-step process accurately. In addition, to better organize the data, I used tables to record the data points found from my experiment. With all this completed, I drew valid conclusions based on the data that I collected. There is evidence that supports this in the template that all students were required to use for the experimental design. The template provides some good guides to meeting all of the standards of significant learning.

  2. Since this assessment, have you shown further growth toward meeting these standards? If so, where do you feel this is demonstrated? If not, what might have helped you move further along towards meeting these standards?

    I believe that since this assessment, before that, and beyond, I have shown constant growth towards meeting all of the standards of significant learning. I feel that this is demonstrated in all of the laboratory work that I do, especially because we are provided with a template that guides us through the process of successful lab write-ups. There are many things other than the template that could help me towards meeting the standards; they include subtle things such as practicing the process repeatedly, and more considerable things such as reviewing lab work and adding as much accurate and organized information as possible before considering it to be complete.

  3. As you prepare for your final assessment task in SI Physics (which is also lab-based and will also focus on these two SSLs), what strategies can you think of that might allow you to continue to grow in your ability to successfully address these SSLs?

    As mentioned repeatedly before, I believe that the template provides a very apparent and easy-to-use guide that can make anyone that uses it successful in following all the standards for significant learning. However, if this template was not provided, or even in addition to the template, continuous practice of meeting all the standards could assist in keeping all the work higher in level of ability. In addition, making the effort to keeping all the information put in the laboratory write-ups as accurate and ethical as possible will help in meeting the standards as well. I believe that if a student defeats his or herself, they will be able to provide an accurate, efficient result.
