What is a discrepant event???
A Discrepant event is an event that we do not expect.they are occurences that deny our undestanding of the world by presenting unexpected outcomes.
It is surprising
It amazes student because it is contrary to what they would expect to happen
It puzzles the observor and arouses curiosity
Presenting to you an example of Discrepant event in teaching of Science.............
Jumping Flame
This discrepant event science experiment will allow you to light a candle without touching the wick.
First, light two candles with a match or lighter.
Allow them to burn for a full minute to build some heat.
Blow out one candle and hold the second candle's flame just above the wick in the smoke that billows from the unlit wick.
The flame from the second candle will use the smoke as fuel and connect with the first wick, relighting the candle.
This occurs because all three requirements for creating fire are in place: heat, oxygen and fuel (the solid particles in the smoke vapor).
Isn't it Interesting?
