DHMO

The whole meaning of this activity really surprised me on the results of it in the end as well as how much it truly taught me. This activity taught me that even though you are being told a valid amount of information on a specific topic you may just be being told what they presenter wants you to hear. I learned that first hand that I was not told enough about this topic when I found out that I voted to ban water from the students at NMU. This not only taught me how easily individuals including myself can be fooled by a surface amount of information but it also taught me a lesson that I need to look more into multiple sides of a situation before I take a vote or make a choice that could affect so many people. Although this was just an in class activity this could relate to real life situations such as the K-8 science standards that we have been discussing or even the presidential election.

I learned about myself personally that I may not have been careful enough and got into the routine of just trusting what anyone tells me. This activity will and has definitely changed my behavior and my thought precess for the future. In the future I am going to try to be more aware of  the entire situation and not just the surface information presented me to. A little research can go a long way!

I found a situation such as this picture or illusion to be a similar situation. At first glance you may say the elephant has four legs. Others may say that at first glance the elephant has eight legs. Although someone could easily tell you the amount of legs the elephant has you will never truly know until you  look into the sources of both parities.
