Description: Thinking slides: docs.google.com/presentation/u/1/d/1DIOmy4T1zu7iwdg4HgtunTOUIY8QFKHUTOj0HSrBSfk/template/preview The Wonder of Science: thewonderofscience.com/mlccc45 Loopy - a tool for system thinking: ncase.me/loopy In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on simulating systems. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS: Simulations - imitation of a situation or process Interactions - reciprocal (two-way) action or influence Energy - the ability to cause change Matter - physical substances Information - facts provided or learned about something Scale - the relative size or extent of something This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. "Models (e.g., physical, mathematical, and computer models) can be used to simulate systems and interactions — including energy, matter and information flows — within and between systems at different scales."
