Description: Thinking Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1CdqEqXxOs0oY_kAi11pDgBxCd8Db6w4oY8nLeWgcU0Q/template/preview The Wonder of Science: thewonderofscience.com/mlccc46 In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on boundary and initial conditions within systems. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS: Boundary conditions - the dividing line between system and environment Initial condition - the beginning state of the system Inputs - what is put into the system Outputs - what comes out of the system This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. "When investigating or describing a system, the boundary conditions and initial conditions of the system need to be defined and their inputs and outputs analyzed and described using models."
