Also, I encouraged students to teach what they had discovered to others in order to consolidate it and to get it really sensible in their heads. <BR/><BR/Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07861916533778048434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623200.post-72325718697550580092008-07-17T08:43:00.000+01:002008-07-17T08:43:00.000+01:00"It might be something a bit self-referential, lik...<I>"It might be something a bit self-referential, like moving something magnetic within a coil has an effect on the electrons in the wire which is called an electric current."</I><BR/><BR/>Ooh Dani - I think you might be onto something there. <BR/><BR/><I>"Does there have to be a reason for things that are observable facts?"</I><BR/><BR/>I think it depends how your mind works.

It might be something a bit self-referential, like moving something magnetic within a coil has an effect on the electrons in the wire which is called an electric current.<BR/><BR/>Does there have to be a reason for things that are observable facts? <BR/><BR/>But this is the bit about electricity that I never understood either, so I clearly don't know the Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02948665818523238498noreply@blogger.com
