I. Describe the Assignment and Goals
For Work Sample 4 I chose the Eukaryotic Cell Analogy Project from Biology. For this project we had 4 eggs and we put them in vinegar for two days and then after those two days we put two eggs in corn syrup for a day and the other two eggs in water for a day. After the three days we had to weigh each egg on a scale.
II. Why did you choose this Project for your Portfolio
The reason I chose this project for the portfolio is because Biology is one of the main classes we have for school and this project was a lot of fun for me. I thought that this was one of the most interesting projects we had in the first quarter of school.
III. How it Represents a 21st Century Skill
This project represents the 5th 21st Century Skill Self-Directional Skills because we were giving our instructions and our goal and we had to do the experiment by ourselves and record our data each day.
IV. How it shows my Current Growth
This project demonstrates my growth in school because we are starting to do real experiments in class and we have to monitor them ourselves and I did without anyone helping me out. So that shows that I'm able to keep myself on track.
V. Area of Opportunity for New Growth
An area of growth for me is I would want to keep a better track of data for example take pictures of the experiment each day and measure the data each day or something like that.
