Knowledge Claims and Visual Perception

Today we explored three student-generated Knowledge Claims (KC) in two Areas of Knowledge (AoK):

Mathematics: "Numbers never end."

Natural Sciences: "All matter has mass" and "Human's need water/oxygen to survive."

We considered each in relation to eight Ways of Knowing (WoK) and attempted to prioritize the role applicable WoKs played in each case:
We also considered the claim, "I perceive the floor is green" which clearly relates to the WoK sense perception. We touched on the role of Language in this instance, specifically, the meaning of the word "green". Further to that conversation, please watch and consider the following Ted Talk.
