Describe what happens to "Sam the Scientist." What does this tells us about him?
What will be an ideal response?
Sam watches as a beverage is poured from a short, wide glass into a tall, thin glass and then back again. Sam gets
fooled and thinks that the taller, thinner glass contains more. Likewise, he is fooled when one pencil is pushed to
the right. He now believes that it is longer. He also mistakenly believes that the flattened Play Dough has more than
the unflattened one. These demonstrations show us that Sam does not yet understand conservation.
