Science Lab Reflction For Rotation Two: Killer Cup Of Coffeee

Question: What scientific ideas or theories would help you explain why you are able to use the procedures to analyze evidence?

I think that the whole idea of the scientific ideas and procedures help us analyze the data is good to go over and reflect about. The procedures allow us to find much needed information to make educated inferences. For example, we used the plaster molding to figure out the type of shoe that stepped in the dirt found at the crime scene. Without scientific ideas or theories, we wouldn't have thought to do the tests that we do. In conclusion, without scientific ideas or theories, we wouldn't be able to be at the point in science that we are today. Science helps us progress in everything that we do everyday, ad we need that. We need science to guide us in life.

Question: Has your approach to lab procedures changed from the first round of labs? Are you more/less confident in your results? Why?

The first time approaching a lab procedure was a bit intimidating for me. I wasn't completely sure what was going on, and not sure what to do either. After asking for hep, I started to understand it a bit more. I would say that after doing many labs, I am now much more confident in the procedures, and in myself. I have realized that I have to slow down, and actually read the question instead of skimming over it, as well as over the story itself. As a result of paying more attention to detail, I have become more confident in everything. Confidence is a big majority of what science is made up of. You have to be confident in learning. You have to be confident, and want to learn. It is the same way with science.
