Thinking+Interdependently


 * Thinking Interdependently is a key part of the scientific process. While one can practice science alone, they will never be as good as multiple minds put together to practice science. When people come together in a group they are more powerful than one individual in their knowledge and problem solving abilities. **


 * October 11,2010 **
 * In Unit 1 Part A number 4, I worked in a group with 3 other people. Together we discovered how much salt needs to be added to water to make its density greater than that of a golf ball, thus allowing the golf ball to float in it. **
 * At first I had come up with a series of equations involving the density formula to figure out how much salt to add to the water. All went great until we ran into a problem: our measurements and calculations didn't match up. **
 * My group members helped me to find the mistakes that i had made in my calculations and together we made re-calculated and discovered the actual results. **


 * We all worked together throughout the entire activity and were very enthusiastic about it. We all helped each other, corrected each others mistakes, and encouraged each other. Albeit this activity could probably have been completed by an individual, it most likely would have taken longer, and there would have been more errors in the data. **


 * My group and I were able to complete the activity quickly and efficiently because we were thinking interdependently. **
