- Summary:
-
Results of observations and of students' performance on pretest/posttests suggest that almost all students enter the fifth grade with certain fundamental misconceptions about light and how people see. Unfortunately, fifth grade science textbooks often fail to inform teachers about these misconceptions or to suggest a teaching strategy that will help teachers with them. Therefore, 13 transparencies were developed for use with the unit on light found in the fifth-grade textbook "Exploring Science" by M.K. Blecha, P.C. Gega, and M. Green (1979, Laidlaw Brothers). The transparencies (keyed to an appropriate page in the text) and this manual were designed to help teachers understand common student misconceptions about light and change those student misconceptions to scientific or goal conceptions. The manual contains: (1) an introduction describing how the transparencies are to be used; (2) illustrations of the transparencies and a commentary contrasting student answers to the questions posed with the correct "textbook" answers; and (3) three tables contrasting common student misconceptions (naive beliefs) with scientific or goal conceptions on a number of topics related to light and seeing, pathways of light, and color.
