Common Misconceptions Of Children

Starting off this lesson, we will ask the students what they had for dinner the night before. We will write down some of the food on the board for the class to see. We will then ask the class if these are foods that a plant could eat. We will then explain that plants cannot eat the same food we eat but they have their own food. After explaining that plants cannot eat the

My personal beliefs about children and learning include; having the children feel safe and welcome, because safety is the number one rule in a child care center. Children should learn the basic things of life. Some of those include, reading and writing, science and math, art and games. Children need a good sense of education to teach them the basic things they need.

One widely accepted idea is that of the five senses and we know plants possess some of these senses.“When we smell something, we sense a volatile chemical that’s dissolved in the air, and then react in someway to this smell...When one fruit starts to ripen, it releases this hormone which is called ethylene, which is sensed by neighboring fruits, until entire trees and groves ripen more or less in synchrony”(Garet Cook, Do plants think). Plants can have a sense of smell and can react to it and if having perception means being animate plants must be

My day to day experience with plants is mainly with fruits, vegetables, breads, and the

On the outside, Mr.LaChance may not look like a gardener, but on the inside you’ll be surprised on what you will learn from him. Mr.LaChance is the garden club co- founder with Ms. Maraglio and Mr.Gonsalves, who puts their heart and soul into gardening for the children who are looking to give back to nature. Mr.LaChance gave us great, interesting information, facts, and background knowledge. He says “When you breath in the air plants give us, we say thank you, and when we breath out we say a gift for you”. Mr.LaChance says, "Without our relationship with plants, animals don't exist. Plants give us oxygen with which we break down food and get its energy. We give plants carbon dioxide as we breath out. They make sugar with that, water and sunlight. They make energy food with our exhale. Amazing, isn't it! Life is a dance of sunlight with the Earth. Plants get the first dance. We get our energy and Earth materials through plants. We have the second dance."

Scientist believe that there are still 85% of organisms undiscovered. Many of these species live in places that are unexplored. Recently scientist have explored the floors of the oceans, eyelids of humans, hot springs, and even stomachs of humans. Before the 18th century, organisms were classified into three groups. These groups were those that live on land, those that live in water, and those that live in the air. Also plants and animals were called by their common names, which lead to much confusion. According to “The Explosion in What We Know About Life Forms”, many confusions arose from organizing organisms this way, such as, scientist could not be sure whether two similar organisms that lived in different parts of the world were actually the same creature called by two separate names. Later in the 18th century, a botanist name Carl Linnaeus created a new, complex system of taxonomy. In this system, it grouped organisms (from largest to smallest) into kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. Also in the new complex system they took the genus and the species of each type of organism to create its name. As scientists learn more about the animals and plants on earth they have improved the taxonomy system. In the essay “The Explosion in What We Know About Life Forms” it talks about how scientist have added three new kingdoms, subspecies/varieties (smaller than

It’s an animal and plant world! Animals and plants have to rely on each other to survive where they live. Without plants, animals wouldn't have food and animals would probably die out, also without animals like bees wouldn’t be able to pollinate the flowers.

1. Plants come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Being brought up around plants I've always felt at home when there are planets around. I’ve been exploring nature and discovering different types of plants that I didn’t know about almost my entire life. That is why I would like to pursue a career in botany.

Because of the way society is set and their mind frame they have categorized children in these troubling tends. Many may think that this is true considering what they are seeing. Many people don’t want to take ahead to the truth. I think it shouldn’t matter what the race is or what the background you may come from everybody deserve the same chance regardless of your culture or background. Because research has shown that children whose parents are more involved in their education have higher rates of attendance, homework completion, and school completion, as well as elevated grades and test scores (Barnard, 2004; Henderson & Berla, 1987; Henderson & Mapp, 2002; Jeynes, 2005).

Family, likes and dislikes, memories, and upbringing allow you to see what makes a person who they are rather than what they look like from your perception. Perception is a powerful tool. I have an older half-brother whose name is Ryan who will soon be 26, I have an older sister named Starr who is 25 and I, Jessica, am the youngest at 24. My sister and I were raised by a single mother, Cathleen, who loves and supports us through thick and thin. I too am a single mother to an amazing two-year-old, Theoden. In my rare spare time I enjoy painting, reading, watching Netflix, and hiking. When I am spending time with my little boy, I enjoy racing hot wheels and having gun fights. Growing up, I was played outside until the street light came on and thoroughly enjoyed the pre-cellphone age. Graduating from public school, I feel as if I was blessed with a good education and a ‘normal’ childhood for a 90’s kid. Growing up I always imagined I would be a school teacher, however as I have aged I have become more uncertain as to what profession I would like to have for the rest of my life. As this is the case, I have changed my major to a general transfer degree in hopes of granting myself enough time to learn what I would enjoy doing for the rest of my life. As a child, I loved reading “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” and “If You Give a Pig a Pancake”. The lesson this series taught me is one I will decidedly be teaching my son. Gratitude

Small plants aren’t as big as trees and their stems are weaker and slimmer. They also don’t need as much room to grow as trees do. They

In this experiment, I have learned that the unknown object is living. During this experiment, we put hydrogen peroxide in the beaker of the unknown object. Then, we checked for the bubbling or foaming chemical reaction from the cells to see if the object is living. If the unknown sample is living, then bubbles will form indicating the presence of cells. The hypothesis (If the unknown sample is living, then bubbles will form indicating the presence of cells) is supported by the data because the living things bubbled and floated like the potato, while the non-living things showed no reaction like the marble. These results can be explained because the text mentions “All living things are ...composed of one or more cells.” (pg 52) When the cell

After reading, chapter 3 the theories that have informed my beliefs about young children are the social interaction theory, the attachment theory and the constructivist theory. I really enjoyed reading about these theories and I believe in all theses theories. I agree with what the theorists say about these theories. The social interaction theory has informed me that learning happens through social events and children interact with people. This theory also has informed me about my beliefs about young children, because I believe like the theory says, that infants are active learners who co-construct language with adults and I do believe that infants are active learners. I believe that if children are social and interacting with other children

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.

     Plants are autotrophs that mean they are able to synthesize food directly from inorganic compounds, instead of relying on other organisms. They use carbon dioxide gas and water to produce sugars and oxygen
