Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

Learning scientists conclusions about learning and teaching include: 1) Useful learning requires deep conceptual understanding, such as using longitude and latitude to find the location of the students' school, or using the concept of inertia to explain why we're pushed against a car door when we go around a curve too fast; 2) deep conceptual understanding requires personal reflection, such as solving a real-world problem, applying information to their daily lives, or connecting different items of information; 3) schooling must shift its focus from teaching to learning, such as having students determine how much pizza they've eaten as an application of adding fractions, instead of simply solving fraction problems in the abstract; and 5) learners' brains function in collaboration with the rest of their bodies, such as having students hold and move their hands over an object when attempting to determine its volume.
