Reflections!!

This week we worked on Lab:  Enzymes in Detergents.  Write a reflection about this experience.  Here are some ideas for your reflection:

What? 
—What happened?
—What did you observe?
—Did you learn a new skill or clarify an interest?
—Did you hear, smell, or feel anything that surprised you?
—How is your experience different from what you expected?
—What did you like/dislike about the experience?
