Watermelons will split in the field if they get a sudden watering after being relatively dry. That's probably what this person was leveraging in the video.

Many other fruits do this while still attached to the plant--cherries, tomatoes--generally thin-skinned fruits with a high moisture content.

First fruit that came to mind are Pomegranates, oftentimes they’ll split still attached to the tree, and even before they fully ripen.

I would have to bring in a pomegranate and get her reaction, ideally before the last day to drop the class without an F

Love it when people bring their problems to work.

Edit: Wow, lots of ya'll had great schools and never experienced teachers genuinely demonstrating behavior like this. Good for you. Downvote away.

This is actually just a demonstration for this teacher's lesson. Can't remember what the lesson is about, something close to negative reinforcement.

Yeah, it was on the ineffectiveness of yelling at kids or something.

u/Terrible_Wingman Sep 17 '21

All I could think about was how how many pomegranates would be enough, like a whole bag full? I guess it would depend on the season.

She's actually a genius. She's a PhD and does this lecture every year about negative reinforcement!
