The adult scaffolds the child’s learning through working in partnership with the child and having knowledge and…

“Learning is never cumulative; it is a moment of knowing which has no beginning and no end”. Learning is a continuous process that commences at birth.

2. Physiology Q=(P1 - P2)/ R Q= flow The amount of a liquid moving past a point in a given amount of time. P=Pressure (P1-P2) The amount of force placed on an artery at any given point in time. R= resistance Is the force that must be overcome for flow to occur. Describe the basic flow equation and resistance equation as they relate to vascular flow. b. Define Poiseuille’s Equation, and describe the effect on blood flow of a change in each variable. Poiseuille's equation states that the…

Vygotsky's theory on the zone of proximal development proves this. When a child is born, they do not know how to react in society.
