| A System Dynamics Approach to Rabbits (S-shaped growth) (D-4286) |
|
|
Author(s):
Terri Duhon |
Subject:
System Dynamics |
| |
From SDEP. This paper studies S-shaped growth by examining the behavior of a rabbit population. Shows and explains a complete system dynamics model constructed for STELLA.

|
Author(s):
Greg Reid |
Subject:
Science |
| |
From Catalina Foothills School District. Through the use of BOTGs, students will understand that body size and skill mastery is usually dependent upon age. In addition, they will discuss practices that will help develop their physical and learning skills.
Complex Systems Connection: Separate Cause and Effect, Short and Long Term Conflicts. Using BOTGs showing age and abilities, students can gain an understanding of how actions in the present affect results in the future and how we might need to do more of what we don't want to do now (spending time studying instead of playing, for example) in order to reap the benefits in the future. |

| Among the Hidden |
|
|
Author(s):
Gail Falewicz |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
Gail Falewicz has inherited the Critical Thinking and Reading (CTR) class from Mairead Orpen. (See The Creative Learning Exchange, vol. 22, no. 1, Winter 2013.) http://static.clexchange.org/ftp/newsletter/CLEx22.1.pdf. As the CTR teacher, Gail teaches every 5th grade student at Innovation Academy Charter School (IACS), a public charter school, in Tyngsboro, MA. This is her summary of the class structure and a report of a unit she taught based on the novel "Among the Hidden" by Margaret Peterson Haddix. (1998, Simon and Schuster, Book One in the "Shadow Children" series)

| Bacteria Sandwich - Mini App |
|
|
Author(s):
Anne LaVigne |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
Bacteria Sandwich is a free, engaging, easy-to-use app for students and others to explore how exponential growth can occur when temperatures are optimal for the bacteria. Students can change the initial number of bacteria and temperature to see what happens over 12 hours. How can this bacteria be stopped before it creates a very dangerous lunch? Students can change the elements to determine how to keep those lunches safe!

Author(s):
Mary Memmott, & Becky Hadden |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
Using a STELLA model and then designing an actual bungee jump, students take Barbie bungee jumping.
Complex Systems Connection: Cause within System
This lesson presents a fun way to experiment with an oscillating system. It can be used as a precusor to the Oscillations curriculum designed for the Characteristics of Complex Systems project. |

Author(s):
Jon Darkow |
Subject:
Science |
| |
In 2012 Jon Darkow from Seneca East Local Schools in Attica, Ohio, received an educator's scholarship from the Creative Learning Exchange to attend the Systems Thinking and Dynamic Modeling Conference in Wellesley, MA. Since that time, he has been creating system dynamic models for his AP Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Biology students to investigate biological systems. |

| Bumbles and Woofs: A Population Model |
|
|
Author(s):
Rachel Henry |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
This high school math lesson progresses from a simple population model to
a predator-prey model with an understandable and explicit sequence. The
teacher used Vensim simulation software for the class, but the lesson could
easily be modified for other simulation software such as Stella and Splash! |

| CO2018_Teaching STEM with Systems Tools |
|
|
Author(s):
Chris DiCarlo, Ashley Young, Katharine Hinkle, & Rachel Henry |
Subject:
Conference |
| |
In this workshop, participants will see examples of systems tools used to teach STEM concepts. We will examine some of the reinforcing and balancing loops that regulate human body systems, discuss how stock-flow models can be used in Physics and Mathematics, and look at challenging problems like coastal erosion through the lens of a systems thinker. After a presentation of the tools, participants will have time to meet with the presenters and explore some of their own ideas for use in their classes. |
