The Shape of Change |
|
Author(s):
Rob Quaden, Alan Ticotsky, & Debra Lyneis |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
|
Eleven hands-on lessons/activities that promote critical thinking, teamwork and dialogue.
Complex Systems Connection: Some lessons in the Shape of Change series can be used to illustrate specific characteristics of complex systems. Please see individual lessons for more information. |

The Mammoth Extinction Game |
|
Author(s):
Gene Stamell, A Ticotsky, & R Quaden |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
|
Prepared with the support of the Gordon Stanley Brown Fund. In this interdisciplinary science, math, and social studies lesson, third graders examine how the wooly mammoth became extinct about 11,000 years ago. With a game and a hands-on model they learn about graphing, probability anda exponential decay in math, and they are intorduced to system dynamics modeling as a useful tool for looking at problems. |

The Fish Pond Story |
|
Author(s):
Malcolm Brooks, & Richard Tu |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
|
The sample game developed by Richard Tu in Taiwan and a simple simulation used in Maine based upon that game.
Complex Systems Connection: Cause within System. In systems where renewable resources are used up, people often blame others. Decisions to use the resource faster than it can be replenished is the real cause, however. |

The Art of Money in Art: Understanding the Value of a Collectible |
|
Author(s):
Maureen Byrne |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
|
From Catalina Foothills School District. Developed for an 8th grade Visual Art course, this unit uses Behavior-over-Time Graphs, causal loop diagrams, and a STELLA model to help students learn many systems concepts as well as their studio art and art history lesson. |

Teenagers with Global Control |
|
Author(s):
Teresa F. Hazel, & Timothy Joy |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
|
From CC-STADUS. After reading "Fahrenheit 451", students inherit a nation out of control with respect to its population and resources and have a cyber-century to salvage it. This model hails from "The Rulers" packet, with a few changes in the model and presentation. It begins with a basic population model, and so it works well for inexperienced STELLA users, teachers as well as students. It then expands through three permutations, and so do the curricular possibilities. |

Teaching Humanities Using Systems Tools |
|
Author(s):
Jeff Potash, Jason O'Neil-Willoughby, & Beth Olesen |
Subject:
Conference |
|
In this workshop, we will explore how different system tools offers opportunities for students to look for patterns in human history and to ask deeper and more thoughtful questions relating to the causes and connections underlying these patterns. Building systems structures (causal loops, connection circles, models) uniquely empowers students to actively explore “what ifs” in ways that bridge past, present, and future. |

Teacher as Systems Designer: Classroom Structures for Effective Student Learning |
|
Author(s):
Rob Quaden, & Alan Ticotsky |
Subject:
Conference |
|
This workshop examines both the practical and philosophical aspects that contribute to a dynamic, learner-centered classroom. We will look at teaching and learning from several points of view, using a variety of systems tools. In this fast-paced, hands-on introductory session, educators will develop their understanding of systems by using some of the key tools of systems thinking, system dynamics, and organizational learning. Explore how behavior-over-time graphs, iceberg diagrams, stock and flow diagrams, connection circles, and causal loop diagrams can be applied to understand and solve complex problems in an educational setting.

Systems Tools in High School: Interdisciplinary Learning in a Science Classroom |
|
Author(s):
Alan Ticotsky |
Subject:
Implementation |
|
A summary of how one teacher teaches across the curriculum. Chris DiCarlo teaches high school classes in several different disciplines at Innovation Academy Charter School (IACS). While technically in the science and math departments, he has taught physics, pre-calculus, robotics, environmental systems, financial literacy... and that's just in the past two years! The threads that tie together all of Chris's classes are a tightly woven combination of his own dynamic teaching style and the learning environment at IACS.
Chris worked with IACS high school principal, Greg Orpen, to design a one-semester elective systems course for Fall 2012. "Environmental Systems and Computer Modeling" was designed to provide students with an overview of the Earth's physical systems and how human activity affects those systems.

Systems Thinking in Teacher Education |
|
Author(s):
Ruth Fruland |
Subject:
Why K12 SD |
|
In this article I will present some results from my dissertation research, in which I introduced systems thinking (ST) and systems dynamics (SD) to preservice teachers in an interdisciplinary methods course. I wanted to understand how preservice (student) teachers would respond to the paradigm of systems thinking, including specific components, and SD modeling methods, to guide future work in teacher education. |
