2. How should I keep notes? Goggle drive

3. Memory is the process of encoding, storing and accessing information Learning is a biological process that can be enhanced with repetition 6.5 Nature of Science – Cooperation and collaboration between groups of scientists – biologists are contributing to research into memory and learning.

4. Lesson Objectives Explain the basic biology of learning. Compare the growth and fixed mindsets effect on learning. Draw and explain the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. Outline the impact of repetition and review on learning. State the impact of multitasking on memory consolidation. Describe the effects of cooperative and collaboration between groups of scientists. State an example of how people from multiple scientific disciplines are collaborating to understand learning and/or memory.

5. How do the pictures serve as an analogy for how people learn?

6. Sketch a graph that shows the % of recall of learning over time.

7. Memory! There are 2 types of memory: Short-term memory and Long-term memory!

8. Short-term memory What is it? -“notepad” for short-term recall - holds small amounts of information (around 7 items or less) -information held typically between 10-15 seconds (or sometimes up to 1 min)

9. Examples of short-term memory use… In order to understand this sentence, the beginning of the sentence needs to be held in your mind while the rest is read Or how about when you are doing Math calculations? Or having a debate or conversation?

10. Why is short-term memory important? From an evolutionary point of view it was a survival advantage to have a smaller short-term capacity compared to the huge capacity of long-term memory. It means that you are paying attention to a small number of important things (e.g. the approach of a dangerous predator, the proximity of a nearby safe haven, etc) and not to all of other peripheral details which would only interfere with rapid decision-making

11. So… how can we help store more in our long-term memory? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuvF113u ty4

14. Many researchers have agreed that the following things help information to transfer from short-term to long term memory! 1.Rehearsal 2.Giving something meaning / associating information with something you know 3.Saying things aloud 4."Chunking" of information https://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=TUoJc0NPajQ

15. You (don’t) snooze you loose! Researchers argue that sleep "orchestrates the strengthening of memories and thereby renders them less vulnerable to interference." Sleeping on it may just be the best way to remember something.

16. Syllabus - 6.5.Nature of Science (NOS). In your table groups, discuss and make notes about cooperation and collaboration between scientists. Use the ‘How people learn’ booklet. Answer the questions that accompany the booklet To get you started, consider noting: Who? What? Why? How? Examples? Also read pages 328 and 540 of the IB biology course companion ACTIVITY

17. Plenary… What is the key to learning? How do I get information from my short term memory into your long term memory? Describe the term ‘growth mindset’

18. In Mr. Bradford's class we model a growth mindset!
