In showing that ‘some of the child’s concepts are incommensurable with the adults’ ’, Carey (1985, p. 269) argued for strong knowledge restructuring during childhood and Vosniadou called similar changes radical restructuring and explains that revisions to central ‘framework theories’ (pp.
46–49) involve ontological and epistemological changes. Chi et al. called their strongest ontological changes ‘tree swapping’ and Thagard (1992) also has a strongest change which he calls ‘tree switching.’ Two candidates for these types of change are, heat needs to change from a flowing fluid to kinetic energy in transit and a gene from an inherited object to a biochemical process. There are many other concepts where scientists’ process views are incommensurable with students’ material

Despite this pessimistic view, this article argues that school students’ material conceptions can be successfully challenged. However, scientific concepts are very complex and what may be suitable for optimising of school science is not always the currently held science view. For example, in modern physics there are two ways of modelling heat – a process way and also a way that draws on change and conservation of ‘thing like entities’.
Consistent with our position is the research of Chiu, Chou and Liu (2002)
3. Convection the transfer of heat through currents of gases or liquids. (occurs passively as warmer air at the surface of the body rises away from the body and is replaced by cooler air – process is aided by wind or fans)
Heat: The amount of energy associated with the movement of atoms and molecules in matter.
e) Geothermal energy being used to heat water to turn turbines and produce electricity is a physical change because the geothermal energy never reacts with anything to produce a new substance. The energy is merely being transferred from one place to another, under the ground to pipes. Even the turbines moving due to the heated water is a physical change because they are not chemically reacting with anything.
According to Merriam Webster dictionary, Structure can be defined as a way that something is built, arranged, or organized. From that definition, I do not think so having a structure in school can be a violation of the natural cognitive development of children because it is foundational to learning. Children need to learn how to follow direction that can help them be successful. So making a structure in place that allows teachers to choose age appropriate materials to help students to learn cannot negatively affect the natural cognitive development of children. That means having a well-planned and logical lesson can help the children demonstrate what they can do in many
605). Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it only changes form. There are several sources of heat. These sources are chemical, mechanical, electrical, and nuclear.
Using this technique we can grow as workers and reflect on our job and role, it is a continuing learning process, within your post, using written reflection this will help us examine our method more intensely and discover why we made a decision and evaluate did it have the best outcome and if not how could a change the method to come up with a better outcome for the young person.

At around 1 year, they may be starting to utter their first words ‘mama’ or ‘dada’. They will learn to put words together by the time they are 2 years of age and they may know up to 200 words. Between 2 and 3 they will start using plurals and negative. Their grammar may not always be correct. They could say ‘I throwed it’ and you could reply with ‘you threw it did you?’ This is a way of correcting what they are saying, without actually telling them that they are wrong and should say it this way.
1.1 EXPLAIN THE SEQUENCE AND RATE OF EACH ASPECT OF DEVELOPMENT FROM BIRTH -19 YEARS.
4.1 Analyse the importance of early identification of speech, language and communication delays and disorders and the potential risks of late recognition. It is essential that speech, language and communication delays and disorders are noticed early so the relevant interventions can be used to support the child or young person. Answer the questions below.
| Peer centred relationships now of high importance. Peer acceptance of great importance to self esteem. An interest developing in sexual relationships, experimenting may start to occur. Peer groups begin to separate in those of attraction, mutual interests and more closely bonded friendships made. The youth experiments with social roles and explores options for career choice.
3. This process involves a heating and cooling process known as thermal cycling and is done by a machine.
Children in today’s society have the right to be listened to, have their thoughts and ideas heard thereby becoming active agents in their lives rather than relying on adults to make decision for them. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child [UNCRC] states under Article 12 that children are entitled to have their views respected. This right calls on adults to ensure that children’s views are valued, taken seriously and respected (King, 2013). Research shows that children draw on their individual experiences from families, culture and society to form their unique opinions which subsequently influence their developing sense of identity. This report will analyse children’s theories on the topic of rights and offer ways in which educators can adapt their own practice to ensure they are advocating for the rights of children. Two separate interviews were conducted with children aged 7 and 8 where they were given the opportunity to also draw their theories (See Appendix B, C). A consent letter has been obtained (See Appendix A) and pseudonyms will be used throughout the report to protect the identity of each child.
There are many different things that shape the cognitive development of children. To begin with cognitive development is when a child develops how to process, solve problems, and start making decisions. Once they have learned this they take everything they have learned into their adolescence. An example, of what can shape the cognitive development of a child can be an educational game. Educational games can be very useful in shaping a child’s development because they are having fun while learning at the same time and what kid doesn’t like to play games, the fact that it is even educational makes it even better for them. Not only are they having fun but there are many different games that help in different categories of development in
Heat is a form of energy that is transferred between two substances at different temperatures. The flow of the energy is from the object of higher temperature to the object of lower temperature. The heat is measured in units of energy, usually calories or joules. Temperature on the other hand, is how cold or hot an object is. The temperature is the average kinetic energy per molecule of a substance. This is measured in degrees on the Celsius or Fahrenheit or in Kelvins.
