Misconceptions Die Hard

I like the basic message of the article about the misconceptions and our focus on terminology in schools.  I like the idea of breaking those misconceptions by doing labs.  While in my courses these seem like they could be interesting topics for making lesson plans.  Another thing I got from this article was to incorporate terminology into lessons and labs.  It is not easy to memorize a term, but by learning and using it in a lab it will be easier to remember.  I also think it is important for the students to hypothesize before experiments to learn their misconceptions and prove them wrong through the experiment.
