I did some Gradpoint. I had a headache.
Thought for the day
"explain the seasons and why we see a full moon or a quarter moon."
Discussion
Steve showed me a video about the seasons and phases of the moon. Some Harvard graduates could not explain accurately why the seasons happen. The video is called "a private universe" because there is a part of us that doesn't learn very deeply.

some Harvard graduates say "the earth goes around the sun and it gets hotter when the earth is closer to the sun and it gets colder when the earth is farther away from the sun."
I really like the face of the teacher who sees that her student explains the moon going in curly orbits. The teacher was shocked.
The student talks about the sun and the earth and I got confused listening to her.
The teacher Ms. LaBossiere was really nice to include herself in the video. The video shows that some inaccurate ideas stick inside students after the details from the textbook have been forgotten.
"it's winter when the sun rays are direct and it is summer when the sun rays are indirect." See Minute 6 and 7 for this information.
The subtitle is "misconceptions that block learning."
