Reflection –Toast Experiment
As part of being a critical thinker is trial and error, or making
predictions and then deducing the final results. When we have the final results
then we can analyze it.
In this experiment we did in the classroom is the 'toast bread'
experiment. We also called it the experimentation activity. It was important to
collect answers to questions and gather them to make conclusions/ answer
questions. So we made a group of 3 girls and each one of us had a toaster and a
piece of bread. Then we were asked by the teacher to find out which setting on
the toaster will give us the best result on the toast bread. Which mean: not
very burned (black color) or very white. It must be golden and nice.
We chose the setting number 4 on our toaster because we assume that it
will be the perfect heat to make our perfect toast golden. When it was done, we
took a picture of it and then we answered a sheet if it was : not really
toasted, too light, just right, too dark, burnt. But from the first try, our
toast bread was "just right".Then we did the experiment again, and
again. Next two times we chose setting 6, and setting 5. But it was too dark
for setting 6, and just right for setting 5.
This experiment was so much fun. And we learned that we need to try
again and again to get the perfect result. We made predictions and assumptions.
Then there was analyzing. So we used critical thinking and it helped us a lot
especially if we will apply this in our real life situations.
