Description: Thinking Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d/18FjwbJ9xWmb7Lcd0NS6sZ88AhlYk15OjzKGZpSc5Xkw/template/preview The Wonder of Science: thewonderofscience.com/mlccc64 In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on INSERTTITLEHERE. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS Complex structures - structures that consist of many different and connected parts Microscopic structures - structures that are so small it can only be seen with a microscope System - a set of components (e.g. things) working together Function - an activity or purpose for a thing This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Complex and microscopic structures and systems can be visualized, modeled, and used to describe how their function depends on the relationships among its parts, therefore complex natural structures/systems can be analyzed to determine how they function.” Source: nextgenscience.org
