Mosart Response
I thought it was a really eye opening experience going through these tutorials. It amazed me how students so young already have these extravagant explanations about a topic even though it is the first time they have learned the topic (the heart video). I know that we saw this during the Stanford video as well that people make up the details to help them comprehend what they don't understand. The students are constructing reality by filling in the holes. I thought it was crazy that the actual average of questions right on the misconceptions was around 50% instead of the 80%. I think you need to cover what your students lack instead of everything they already know. You may want to lightly touch on the concepts but don't spend too much time if they are already understanding it.
