Sweater Article

I loved this reading this article and it is very interesting.  The main point is misconceptions that children have and then how to get past their barriers.  I thought the phrase, "children's mind are still under construction and must be treated with care where conceptual change is concerned."  This has to do with the experiment the teacher did and let them create their own experiments, formulate hypothesis, solutions, and redo experiments.  Students will get the most out of finding the answer themselves, instead of reading them in a textbook.  In my classroom I will stress the relevancy of the lesson or experiment, allow children to come up with their own experiments, and stress consistency.
