Ms Carter teaches a Year 9 science class of thirteen and fourteen year olds. The pupils disagree about a paper bridge investigation. Some predict that a bridge made from three sheets of paper will support more mass than a bridge made from one sheet, while others predict that both bridges will support the same mass. Ms Carter plans to tell the class which prediction is correct and then demonstrate the investigation herself.
Using Piaget's ideas of readiness and active learning, explain how Ms Carter should organise this lesson.
