Description: Thinking slides: docs.google.com/presentation/u/1/d/1vXMTTu-sipACAiHcnG8eL-lAgkWl8VA16X-cCMLXJzw/template/preview The Wonder of Science: thewonderofscience.com/mlccc43 In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on inputs, processes and outputs in a system. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS: System models - a representation of a system Interactions - reciprocal (two-way) action or influence Inputs - what is put into the system Processes - a series of actions or events Outputs - what comes out of the system Flows - to move in or as if in a stream Energy - the ability to cause change Matter - physical substances This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. "Models can be used to represent systems and their interactions—such as inputs, processes and outputs—and energy and matter flows within systems" Source: nextgenscience.org
