Description: Thinking Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-DIVw5S10dV0CaOlur1CoVsZmsQvVBtLfEHqqRuyv2o/template/preview The Wonder of Science: thewonderofscience.com/mlccc36 In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on orders of magnitude. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS Scale models - a representation that has been reduced or enlarged to a specific scale Orders of magnitude - is an approximation of the logarithm of a value relative to a reference value, usually ten This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Students use orders of magnitude to understand how a model at one scale relates to a model at another scale.” Source: nextgenscience.org
