Robbie Williams was born in Stoke On Trent, England on February 13th, 1974. Watch Lebanon Hindi Full Movie. Having played in school productions of "Oliver" and, obviously showing a. A level-headed, open-minded look at strange phenomena: Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts, paranormal investigations, cryptozoology, monsters and mystery animals.

Phenomena are observable events in nature (or our lives) that connect to multiple NGSS disciplinary core ideas, such as Finnish Snow Trees or the behavior of bees. Throughout a unit, students work towards explaining the scienceconcepts behind the phenomenon in their own words. Regardless of the grade or subject we teach, the same phenomenon can be used across K- 1. Anchoring vs. Lesson- level. There are two types of phenomena: anchoring phenomena and lesson- level phenomena.

An anchoring phenomenon requires an entire unit for students to be able to explain the science behind it, whereas smaller, lesson- level phenomena help students figure out smaller pieces of the larger picture. For example, this unit on HS- LS4 Natural Selection and Evolution uses MRSA infections as the anchoring phenomenon. Within this larger unit, a lesson- level phenomenon on Galápagos Finches ulitmately helps students understand the the underlying mechanism behind the emergence of MRSA. Content vs. Watch The Hamiltons Download. Knowledge. The key to choosing the right anchoring phenomenon lies in the idea that you can Google content, but you can’t Google knowledge. A classic example of this difference is the shower- curtain effect.

Why do vinyl curtains stick to you? Sure, students can Google it and find a series of possible explanations on Wikipedia, but can they argue why which explanation is more “right” and why? In order for phenomena to be academically productive, students have to be able to apply science knowledge to reach a deeper understanding of the questions behind the phenomenon.

Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena… are fascinating! They also teach us about our visual perception, and its limitations. This huge selection emphazises beauty and interactive experiments; I also attempt explanations of the visual mechanisms involved where possible. Returning visitor? Check →here for History/News.»Optical illusion« sounds pejorative, as if exposing a malfunction of the visual system. Rather, I view these phenomena as highlighting particular good adaptations of our visual system to experience with standard viewing situations. These experiences are based on normal visual experiences, and thus under unusual contexts can lead to inappropriate interpretations of a visual scene (=Bayesian interpretation of perception).

If you are not a vision scientist, you might find my explanations too highbrow. That is not on purpose.

Reason: vision research simply is not trivial, like any science. So, if the explanation seems gibberish, simply enjoy the phenomenon 😉. More here: Bach & Poloschek (2. Optical Illusions Primer; on the programming: Bach (2. PDF). Can illusions reveal somthing about my personality? No. The web is full of claims that your personality (right- or left brain dominated, intro- vs.

However, I know of no reliable scientific data that suggests this. That's just click- baiting BS. There is some influence of age, though –  but you don't need illusions to know your age… So: Don’t let it irk you if you don’t see all the phenomena described. For many illusions, there is a percentage of people with perfectly normal vision who just don’t see it, mostly for reasons currently unknown. Before we delve in, I’d like to express my thanks for your @feedback; any advice is appreciated.
