Point For Young: Ollerenshaw and Richie (1997) regard observation as the starting point for science. So it could be argued, observation could be the starting point for young children's science. Young chil¬dren observe the world around them and use their observations to try to make sense of what they see. Observation in science involves, where appropriate, the use of all the senses. Young children are fre¬quently asked to touch an object and to describe how it feels. 'Observation tasks enable children to look at objects or events in a sci¬entific way' (Gott and Duggan 1995, p. 55).
Children and young people who express their stress reactions in out¬ward and 'challenging' ways are those most likely to get away from the stress in the short term but whose lives may be socially damaged in the long term, for instance, by being excluded. Those who cannot express the effects of stress through outward behaviour may not be such a problem in the short term but may end up suffering from ill¬nesses, both physical and mental, in the longer term. A child or young person may well succeed academically but questions have to be asked. What is the cost of academic success and conformity to a very competitive system? At what point should teachers modify the pressures exerted by the education system on children and young people in order to preserve their health and well-being in the long term? At what point is it worth losing health and well-being for aca¬demic attainment and the illusory promise of success later in life?See Also Young Whales:Birth and Growth.—Young whales are usually born one at a time after a period of gestation of about a year in large whales and somewhat less in smaller species. The young are large com¬pared with the size of the mother. A calf meas¬uring 25 feet may be produced by a female blue whale 80 feet long. Within a year, the young male may more than double its length, and it may be 80 feet long at three years. Rapid as this rate of growth seems, it is actually quite slow compared with that of many terrestrial mammals. A pig, for example, grows about five times as rapidly.
A sizable number of fossil forms have been found, dating from as far back as the Middle Eocene, but all are true whales and belong to one of the two existing suborders or to a third suborder, the Archaeoceti, which roamed the seas from the Middle Eocene to Early Miocene. These slender early whales are the most primitive members of the order in structure, but apparently were not in the direct line of ancestry of modem whales. Xor can the toothed whales, which are generally more primitive than the baleen whales, be con¬sidered to be in any way ancestral to the latter.
On The Other Hand See Too Young 900:Gestation takes 16 days; 7-15 in litter; young born pink, naked, and blind. Do not disturb young or mother for at least a week after birth; if disturbed mother will either kill and eat the young or ne¬glect them and allow them to die. After 3 weeks, remove young from mother; otherwise, mother fights with them and often kills them. Sexes should be separated before young reach maturity at 43 days.
Food changes as creature grows; young feed almost en¬tirely on aquatic insects and crustaceans; later take frogs, snakes, and fishes; then fishes, young pigs, muskrats, and some waterfowl; adult takes fishes, pigs, and larger animals that stray too young 900 close to water's edge, such as cows, calves, and deer.
Voice: Both young and old alligators hiss; female grunts like a pig in calling young; young make moaning sound, with mouth closed. |
