Today in class we learned about Plato's allegory of the cave. It was really interesting and we also watched a video it was about the idea of people who were chained one way for many many years and could only see shadows. It was a fun thing to think about. So the lab we did for the day way to pass around little black boxes and to talk with in our groups where the restricting areas were so that the marbles could only go so many places with in the box. It was a fun activity and we had fun talking about it in the group as well as in the whole class. This would be a neat activity to do with just about any grade level with some adaptations.
