Description: Thinking Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dULKjPZ3JCatbY3a2lLCYYENbDg02eONzdGvQTPu7Dc/template/preview The Wonder of Science: thewonderofscience.com/mlccc65 In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on molecular-level structures. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS Molecular-level structures - locations of atoms in a molecule Function - an activity or purpose for a thing Properties - any traits of an object that can be measured Component - a part of a larger whole Shape - external form of an object Purpose - the reason for which something is done or created This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “The functions and properties of natural and designed objects and systems can be inferred from their overall structure, the way their components are shaped and used, and the molecular substructures of its various materials.” Source: nextgenscience.org
