Description: Thinking Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1M91yOofnh_R9t3xOU4QwSYXci18ZXqTvqp6dQ7bG4MQ/template/preview The Wonder of Science: thewonderofscience.com/mlccc31 In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on describing scale. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS Scale - the relative size or extent of something Objects - a material thing that can be seen and touched Phenomena - observable events in the natural world (require explanations) Temperature - the degree of heat present in a substance Size - the relative extent of something Time - an irreversible series of events This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Relative scales (e.g., bigger and smaller; hotter and colder; faster and slower) can be used to describe objects. Objects exist from the very small to the immensely large. Observable phenomena exist from very short to very long time periods” Source: nextgenscience.org
