The Academy Recommends:
A Private Universe (20 minutes)
This video brings into sharp focus the dilemma facing all educators: Why
don't even the brightest students truly grasp basic science concepts?
Interviews are held with high school students and Ivy League graduates asking
them to explain what causes the seasons and the phases of the moon. Even the
brightest students in the class have false ideas based on enduring
misconceptions that traditional instructional methods cannot overcome. Produced by the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. 1987.
