Psych- Piaget tasks

I tried a few of these tasks on my younger sisters. Jacey is 8 and Jenessa is 6. I tried the test of putting water in two different containers and seeing if they knew that they both held the same amount of water. My younger sister thought they didn't and Jacey knew they both had the same but also looked so confused at the same time! I tried the pencil experiment too to see if they knew that the length stayed the same and Jacey did but Jenessa did not. It was interesting to see that although they are only two years apart that makes a huge gape in the way they think. It made me realize how vital it is that children learn so much and make so many connections when they are young. If they miss out on those opportunities it is a huge set back. These experiments were fun and intereting to do!
