Description: Thinking Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d/12-gY8y6yH_89YkQUp52wjlsWAOiyobTvMLsiKT0jYLs/template/preview The Wonder of Science: thewonderofscience.com/mlccc33 In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on scale and perspective. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS Phenomena - observable events in the natural world (require explanations) Time - an irreversible series of events Space - the dimensions in which all things exist and move Perspective - a mental view of something Scale - the relative size or extent of something Significance - being worthy of attention This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Natural objects exist from the very small to the immensely large. Phenomena that can be observed at one scale may not be observable at another scale. The significance of a phenomenon is dependent on the scale, proportion, and quantity at which it occurs.” Source: nextgenscience.org
