Looking at Learning...Again, Part 2 Workshop 4. Conceptual Change - Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
With Dr. Peter Hewson. In this workshop, we explore the role played by prior knowledge in the learning of new science ideas. Only when a new idea is understood, accepted, and found to be useful does it begin to be exchanged for a previously held scientific belief. The workshop examines how teachers? ideas about teaching and learning may be altered as they engage students in strategies designed to promote conceptual change.

Minds of Our Own: Program 2: Lessons from Thin Air - Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
Just about everyone will agree that trees are made from sunlight, water, and soil the trees sucks up from their roots. But the surprising truth is that trees are made from air! Trees are solar-powered machines that convert air into wood. Why is it that, despite the fact that photosynthesis is one of the most widely taught subjects in science, so few people really understand the central idea underlying this system? Starting with this question, program two explores why something taught in school can go unlearned and shows that we often teach without regard to what children actually need to...
