Connect students directly to the concept in a personal way. Capture students' attention by initiating a group problem-solving activity before delivery of instruction. Begin with a situation that is familiar to students and builds on what they already know. Construct a learning experience that allows diverse and personal student responses. Facilitate the work of cooperative teams of students.

Show clip from Star Trek II

Objective: To get the students thinking about the issue of perspective and paradigms.

Activity: Show clip from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which deals with the Kobyaski Miru-the unsolvable dilemma faced in simulation by all captains. The most helpful clips are cued at the following counter numbers:
Beginning to the end of the Kobayashi Miru simulation
Skip to 0:35:25—0:36:10 (This is the discussion of the problem between Lt. Savak and Capt. Kirk)
Skip to 1:17:13 and watch until Capt. Kirk explains how he beat the simulation

Assessment: Students to consider the problem and the solution.
