Unit 2 Assignment D Applied Science
Unit 2: Practical scientific procedures and techniques
Review personal development of scientific skills for laboratory work
I feel that I have learned a lot of skills and techniques over the entire unit that I
will need for my biomedical science course in university. The skills I've
developed have greatly boosted my independence and confidence, and they will
be useful for when I apply to universities. The skills I've learned have given me
greater self-assurance to aid me with practical work, experiments, and
laboratory work in university. Practicals like titration, colorimetry, and
calorimetry required me to apply my prior understanding of safety and how to
use equipment. However I worked in a group and received assistance from my
peers, I still need to learn the necessary abilities to conduct these experiments
more precisely and independently. Looking at my performance, I believe I have
developed many skills that will be valuable to me at University. Some of the
primary skills I have learned are:
● Communication skills, communication is a vital skill when working with a
peer group to ensure that the experiment is done correctly and that
everyone in the group understands information offered by the teacher
and the aim of the experiment.
● Observation skills, observation is a skill I learned while watching my
teacher demonstrating how to use equipment that I have never used
before and how to calibrate equipment to get more accurate results.
● The most crucial skill I developed during these practicals was
quantification. The majority of the experiments required the proper
amount of solvent and solute mixture.
