Abstract This report looks at cognitive development of an adolescent through the use of Piaget’s pendulum task‚ and aims to assess the level of cognitive development with comparison to literature in the field and furthermore provide suggestions of how a teacher could enhance the subjects learning in one key learning area. Pieget’s studies have been based around cognitive development. The development has 4 major stages. Each stage enables the person to develop ways of knowing. This report concentrates

Research Activity Constructivism and Student Misconceptions: Why Every Teacher Needs to Know About Them The article I chose to do this research activity on was "Constructivism and Student Misconceptions: Why Every Teacher Needs to Know About Them" by Audrey Sewell (Appendix A). I believe this article addresses a key idea that all teachers should be aware of‚ student misconceptions. For this paper I will start by summarizing the key ideas‚ then I will go on to discuss how they relate to the

HSC Physics Notes - Space 9.2 - 1. The Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force both on it and around it 1. define weight as the force on an object to a gravitational field Mass is the measure of how heavy an object it. Every object has a mass which is static and does not change with any force exerted on it or from it. However‚ weight is the force which is exerted upon an object when it comes into contact with or nearby a gravitational field of some strength. Weight is a force ஃ a vector

History of Clocks and the Impact of Electricity on them. Introduction: In this poster we are going to show you the history and the development of the clock through time and how it has impacted society. We will also show how electricity has affected the development and effectiveness of clocks. Sun clock: One of the first clocks on record is the sun clock. Sun clocks basically work on the principle that the position of a stationary object’s shadow will be in the same place at a certain

Procedure: The apparatus’ dimensions and the mass of the pendulum were measured and recorded. The angles of the pendulum were recorded at the loaded and rest position. The specimen was then placed onto the apparatus with the notch side aligned so the pendulum will hit there. The apparatus’ pendulum was dropped from a known height

Newtonian Mechanics 8.01 Units and Dimensional Analysis 1 Dimensions in Mechanics Physical quantities have dimensions. These quantities are the basic dimensions: - mass‚ length‚ time with dimension symbols M‚ L‚ T Other quantities’ dimensions are more complex: - [velocity] = length/time = LT-1 - [force] = (mass)(length) /(time)2 = MLT-2 - [any mechanical quantity] = Ma Lb Tc where a b‚ and c can be negative and/or non-integer 2 Base Quantities Name Length Time Mass Electric

the Universities of Padua and Pisa. The Pendulum In 1581‚ Galileo began studying at the University of Pisa‚ where his father hoped he would study medicine. While at the University of Pisa‚ Galileo began his study of the pendulum. According to legend‚ he watched a suspended lamp swing back and forth in the cathedral of Pisa. It was not until 1602 that Galileo made his most notable discovery about the pendulum the period‚ which the time in which a pendulum swings back and forth‚ does not depend on

is that it can lead to paranoia which then leads to obsession. Obsession is dangerous as seen in the three stories written by Edgar Allen Poe. The first story “Tell-Tale Heart”‚ it’s about a man that obsesses about a creepy eye. The “Pit and the Pendulum” is about a man that’s stuck in a prison and is faced with many extremely difficult obstacles. Finally‚ the “Masque of Red Death” is about a prince named Prince Prospero that fears the red death and so locks himself and his friends from the outside
