Misconceptions

Test common incorrect explanations against definitions, conservation rules and evidence.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Variables and Conditionals.

Variables and Conditionals

Variables store changing values, while conditionals choose a path based on a true-or-false test.

Core checkpoint: Name a variable for what it means and test its boundary values.

Key idea

Name a variable for what it means and test its boundary values.
