Science lesson: Gecko’s Tail
A great video from TED. Robert Full: Learning from the Gecko’s tail. The combo of biology and robotics make this a fun lesson. Dr. Full also demonstrates the nature of scientific discovery by following each discovery with another concise question that can be answered through experimentation. If I were a teacher, I’d have my students first watch the video on their own and individually try to count the number of times he asks a question, then watch it in groups to pull the questions and describe how each one was answered.
A holistic approach to technology integration and research into working, learning, and living spaces. Investigating issues of convergence, natural science, social science, and art. Seeking technology's place in professional learning communities. Biologist by degree, engineer and computer scientist by hobby. Oh...and designer when I feel creative.
