Systems in Motion Level C: Exploring Complexity though an Interdisciplinary Lens - Paperback

by Jennifer Andersen (Author), Anne LaVigne (Author)

Systems in Motion! Exploring Ups & Downs in the World through an Interdisciplinary Lens creates a space for "kids" from ages five through adulthood to explore and understand how and why systems work the way they do. Each of the seven lessons, with accompanying easy-to-use online simulators, contains multiple curricular connections and also illustrates how perceived problems or undesirable behavior can arise from the very structure of a system itself, as opposed to outside influences. As students interact with the online simulations and materials, they are

• engaged
• generating questions, predictions, and comparisons
• thinking deeply about system structure and behavior
• collaborating with peers
• constructing understanding
• demonstrating knowledge gained

Part of a three-level series, Systems in Motion - Level C is designed for use with ages 13 and up.
