Personal Narrative: My 9th Grade Biology Team
A time when I had to act as a team with others was in the beginning of my freshman year. I was just about out of middle school and scared of a new beginning. I was coming to a new school and I needed to make friends because my old ones had gone to different high schools. It was the 3rd week of school and my biology teacher arranged a group project so that her students would get to know each other, I was partnered up with two other girls that were complete strangers to me. I disliked being in groups and then even more because they were not my friends plus I had never in my life seen them before. Then again to this day I thank my 9th grade biology teacher because if she had not paired me up with them I would had not meet my current best friends.
In the group project the girls and I had to work together and come to a compromise of what our project was going to be about. The teacher said the project could be of anything regarding biology. We all had our own ideas about what the project could be of. We had to work on the project for around a month but the first few days me and the girls, Daisy and Melissa, were still somewhat not comfortable with each other and we all wanted to do something different.

If I had not gone through this process I would not be the person I am
Drops On A Penny Lab Report
385 Words | 2 PagesThe name of the lab is “Drops on a Penny.” I was expected to find the independant variable, dependant variable, write a hypothesis, and test the experiment. After testing the experiment multiple times, I needed to find the average amount of drops for each trial, graph them, and tell what kind of relationship it is. The last thing I needed to do was rewrite the details of the project and write a conclusion. The point of the experiment was to have the students get used to the idea of a lab, and get familiar with independent and dependent variables.
Gen 1051 Final Lab Report
813 Words | 4 PagesWe were asked to correctly communicate these findings as we tested each of the substances she had encountered with both water and hexane. In experiment number three, The Relationship Between the Volume of a Gas and the Temperature, we where given a list of materials and asked to come up with our own procedure, which we did using zip lock bags filled with air, and submerged fully in a measured amount of water in order to find the volume, and then the change in volume when the temperature of the water was increased. In the fourth experiment we were asked to find the temperature of heated water, based on the cold and warm water. The experiment also required that each section be preformed several times in order to ensure accuracy, and also asked that the experimental responsibilities be split up between lab partners, each doing a section of the testing. This gave us an opportunity to work together with our fellow lab partners, with no one person doing the bulk of the work.
