=__Listening to others with understanding and empathy__= ====//Sometimes we ridicule or put down the ideas of others in a group situation. Interrupting when someone is talking shows a lack of respect for that person's idea. Devote your mental energy to another and invest in your partner's ideas. Wisdom is the reward for a lifetime of listening.//====

Last week, we completed an experiment in class: How to Float a Golf Ball. By using the right amount of sodium chloride, we were able to do just that. Although it took many tries, my group succeeded.

Reflection- When my group first started discussing the different solutions to complete this task, we were very disorganized. Everyone would talk at once, and when someone contributed an idea, it would be impugned. However, we all caught on that this system was not working. Instead, we compromised and gave each other a chance to talk. Felisa, my group mate, suggested that we start off the experiment with 50 mL of salt. This allowed us to successfully complete the experiment smoothly. If we hadn't listened to her suggestion, we would have had a lot of difficulties. By listening to each other understandingly and empathetically, we were able to float a golf ball in sodium chloride.
