6: Along with the usual models of aircraft, ships and vehicles, Airfix also produced other kits for hobbyists. What type of steam engine depicted in the photo? Beam Engine Part of what was known as the, “Museum Series” the beam engine was part of a four model set that also included a four stroke engine, a paddle engine, and a model of Richard Trevithick’s 1904 locomotive. Although initially power by an electric motor and gears, when reissued in 2009, these parts were omitted from the beam engine

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p–n junction diode, which emits light when activated.[4]When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less

Mental representations are a critical part of the sensorimotor phase and are later the foundation for all other mental representations. Children holding mental representations of ideas and objects within their heads and can serve as the basis of later complex mental representations. With such an idea, it is an important idea that children and infants develop a schema related to games, and play. For example, as

Learning from B.F Skinner and Jean Piaget The psychological studies of B.F Skinner and Jean Piaget in the field of learning revolutionized the understanding of learning processes, and undoubtedly paved the way for future psychologists. The findings of B.F Skinner and his theory on operant learning expanded the horizons of his generation. Jean Piaget also constructed the basis by which we evaluate the logical capabilities of youth, and he developed a theory of schemas. Both of these eminent psychologists

The secret world that lies in the mind of adolescence is one that many adults may not understand. The brief glimpses that adults receive are so minute that they often misread what they see. In order to truly get to know and help those in this stage, adults need to wade through the rude comments, the unpredictable behavior, and secrecy to really see their world. This world that they live in is cluttered with identity crisis and moral conflict. Silence, conformity, and submission also pollute this

Sensitive Periods in Child Development In order to understand how children move between stages, it’s important to understand how children take in stimuli from the environment and use it to grow. Most theorists agree that there are periods in children’s lives in which they become biologically mature enough to gain certain skills that they could not have easily picked up prior to that maturation. For example, research has shown that babies and toddlers’ brains are more flexible with regard to learning

Education Moral education is becoming an increasingly popular topic in the fields of psychology and education. Media reports of increased violent juvenile crime, teen pregnancy, and suicide have caused many to declare a moral crisis in our nation. Jean Piaget is among the first psychologists whose work remains directly relevant to contemporary theories of moral development. In his writing, he focused specifically on the moral lives of children, studying the way children play games in order to learn
