Standard: 5e. I know how to determine whether a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral.
1. Justify how this project/activity/assignment meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself to demonstrate your mastery and/or understanding.
This assignment relates to the standard because we had to use experiments using litmus paper to conclude a substance pH, being acidic,basic, or neutral. Standard had asked if we can determine a substance to be acidic, basic, or neutral. This assignment was exactly that, using litmus paper to conclude a substance pH and theorizing how strong was it's number. I know acidic products turn litmus paper red or orange, basic solution turns it to a blueish texture, as neutral turns it green or black.

2. Elaborate on at least 1 Science & Engineering Practice you feel you met/gained from completing this project.
A scientific skill I have obtain was that I can indicate the pH of a solution using the techniques I was taught. One technique to identify a pH of a solution was to use taste, being that acids taste sour,bases taste bitter, and neutral is very neutral. I've met this skill because in the experiments were taught that their is very distinguish difference between the acids and bases, so we must logic and experiments to conclude a solutions pH. Having this skill to identify solutions pH using both litmus paper and taste will prove to be helpful in the upcoming future.

3. Upon reflecting on your work/experience and/or score, what is ONE SEP you could have done better on? How will improving in this SEP benefit future work/projects? Give me next steps for improving in this SEP.
Upon reflecting on my assignment, I conclude that a flaw I had was being that the pH numbers I had concluded were not all thought through and accurate. Feeling that I should have used more logic in concluding the pH of the solutions, I should have used more logic and used the litmus paper more to conclude a solutions pH. Knowing this now will help me in the future because I will think more thoroughly about my statement and use more logic to conclude. I will do this by thinking more about the solution and the optional answers, and use both facts and theorizing.

4. How will you presently apply the content and skills you learned from this assignment in the real-world, outside of the classroom? Make connections between the content and your life.
I will imply the skills I've learn in the future by using them when I am experimenting on a piece of matter. I will become a physicist and in this line of work, understanding a piece of matter's pH is very helpful to conclude i'ts place in the universe. I am both capable in concluding a solutions pH using taste and litmus paper, this is helpful because I know exactly the pH of a solution without any advance scientific tools. Also in life I will use this when shopping for fruits and cleaning supplies, I will use this every day of my life.
