Unit 2: Practical Scientific Procedures and Techniques
Learning Aim D: Review Personal Development of Scientific
Skills for Laboratory Work.
Skill:
The ability to accomplish a given activity is referred to as a skill. Life and work
experiences aid in the development of skills. Skills are acquired via job experience, self-
reliance, and problem-solving, among other things. Working in any position entails more
than simply arriving on time, doing given responsibilities to suitable and accepted
standards, and then departing on time. All employees are required to analyse their
operations to reduce potential errors, improve abilities, and achieve personal growth and
success at work.
I conducted significant research and conducted multiple experiments to properly fulfil
unit 2 practical scientific processes and procedures. Because the skills I learned in this
course gave me greater flexibility and confidence in conducting practical work, they will
help me apply to institutions. I finished the practical’s in titration, chromatography,
colorimetry, and calorimetry while learning practical scientific procedures and
methodologies. This allowed me to use past information, such as test safety, but I still
needed to learn a few skills in order to complete the exams independently and
accurately. When I think about my performance and talents, I gained a lot of skills which
will help me in this course in the future.

I enhanced my observation skills by watching the teacher showing us how to do
calibration of equipment, telling us about hazards of acids etc. Any information told to us
from the teacher or read from the lab book can easily be understood. Communication is
important in order to complete the experiment when you are working in a group so that
everyone understand what is being done and the experiment can be completed in the
