Question 2

Mr. Davis asks his third graders to conduct experiments to examine the effects of water, sunlight, and type of soil on growing sunflowers. He tells them, I want you to find out which of these three thingswater, sunlight, and soilaffect how well sunflowers grow. Here are lots of sunflower seeds, lots of paper cups to grow them in, and two different types of soil. You can give your growing plants plenty of sunlight by putting them on the shelf by the window, or you can grow them in a shadier place on the bookshelf behind my desk. And here's a measuring cup you can use to measure the amount of water you give them each day.

Mr. Davis is assuming his third graders can do at least two things that, from Piaget's perspective, they probably cannot do. What two crucial abilities necessary for conducting appropriate experiments do his students probably not yet have? Justify your answer in a short paragraph.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 2

Mr. Davis is assuming that his students can formulate multiple hypotheses about a particular situation and can separate and control variables to test those hypotheses. According to Piaget, these are abilities that emerge in formal operations. However, Mr. Davis's students, being about eight or nine years old, are probably still in concrete operations.
