Document Summary
The importance of failure: failure is absolutely essential to learning and especially in science learning. No matter where the observer is located, you get the same results. But there are inconsistencies that appear with his model. Everything is relative to the position of the observer. But there are problems (nature of gravity, nature of time, reconciling very large with very small) Something you can examine deeply, learn from and improve. Such failure is absolutely essential to learning, to becoming better, to becoming and being a teacher. We are essentially asking you to reflect on the quality of your failure, consider what you have learned from it and explain what you will do differently when you teach the lesson again and why. All matter in the universe is made up of tiny particles. A single atom is the most basic unit of an element. Atoms can combine to make larger particles called molecules. Atoms and molecules have energy and therefore move.
