Sweater article

I liked this article a lot because it helped show me that creating a disequilibrium once in a child's brain is not typically enough to uproot their misconceptions. As I read the article I found myself wondering the same things that the teacher was wondering while letting her students experiment over and over again. I like the suggestions that the article game about asking open ended questions that could lightly guide the students' next experiments so they are not just doing the same experiment over and over again. I believe that it is important to let children experiment but just letting them test the same thing over and over again hoping to get the same results will not result in a conceptual change in understanding. This is why those open ended questions are very important to help the students reach that disequilibrium that motivates them to make sense of things. I also found the end of the article to be very good because letting students experiment on their own ideas gives them an ownership of the experiments and helps foster an interest in science.
