While doing the different science labs I had to make multiple observations. Sometimes that meant that I had to record different things. I think that helped with coming to conclusions because I was able to go back and look at my observations. For instance when I had to find out which piece of fabric was the criminals using the telescope helped me narrow down my observations. The pieces of fabric that didn’t look like the one at the crime scene I immediately made a mental note that said that the piece of fabric was most likely not the criminals.
Sometimes it was hard to get precise results because of miscommunication. I found that in different labs such as the bullet firearms lab my partner and I had problems figuring out some of the instructions. So we had to get help and try again because we didn’t get it the first time. But I think that’s all part of the process and at the end we did finish the lab.
With my partners information and me we knew that it was right because we did it right in front of us and trusted are information. I think that we could rely on are observations but sometimes we made a mistake and had to go back. Using common knowledge we sometimes questioned ourselves but we where always able to get help. With the information given to us we relied on that more because we knew it would be right because the paper said it. We immediately thought since the instructions said it, and then it should be right.
