Greenhouse effect

1. Model based teaching

Mental models are what student knows before the teaching.

Teacher can use as hypermodels for examble: simulations, diagrams, explanations, istructions, data tables and graphs. Hyper models helps to understand things better. When student see something about the topic it´s easyer to understand. Phenomena (experiences and experiments) and metagognitive skills like selecting, directing and monitoring effects student understanding and learning of the topic.

During the teaching learner generates new mental model.

2-3. Own model vs. the simulation of greenhouse effect

The simulation had same idea about the greenhouse effect as I had. The simulation was maybe more simble as think the greenhouse effeckt is. I think students need to now thing about greenhouse effect before they watch the simulation. I would like more thing there. It was quite simple model about the effect. The main thigs affecting the phenomena is sun and humans actions like industries and car fuels. The more people produces the gases the more warmer there will be.

4. The simulation was too simple and it was directed to the physicists I think. Report and Use of sourcer was lean. I think student cant`t learn much only watchin the simulation.
