• Learning involves patience and time.

This principle means that you should not give up if you aren’t instantly successful. I think it also implies that sometimes only time can teach you a lesson because you need to have new experiences.

I believe that this principle has been taught in science 9 in a few different ways. Firstly, as in all subjects, understanding a difficult topic takes awhile. We have learned to put effort into conquering our academic struggles in this class. Secondly, we have done several experiments that require these qualities. If there is a problem in your lab, you need to be calm to correct the issue. And in our current project, we are collecting data over the course of several weeks. Rushing any of your steps could mess up your whole plan.

• Learning involves recognising the consequences of one’s actions.

I interpret this principle as meaning that you need to be self-aware to gain knowledge. You also need to accept your mistakes in order to be intelligent enough to not repeat them.

We have been taught this principle as well. During our spheres unit, there has been a lot of focus on human’s environmental impact on the world. We’ve been shown that if humans do not realise the error in our ways, things are going to start getting really bad. We have seen how the chemicals we use damage entire ecosystems and discussed ways to personally effect change. We did assignments on ideas to create more sustainable products. Basically, we are being educated on why it is important to identify that there is a problem in the way our world is powered and how to help correct it. That is pretty similar to this principle!
