From CC-STADUS. A STELLA Model for use in the classroom; explores education-income dynamics.
Complex Systems Connection: Short/Long Term Conflicts. Managing money, in personal finances or in running a business, often involves setting both short-term and long-term goals. Sometimes goals are in conflict between these timeframes, such as spending now versus saving/investing for future financial well-being. This also applies to choosing to spend time on education early in life for the opportunity to earn a higher income later. This simulation helps students explore the long-range implications of choices they make now. |

| Modeling Dynamic Systems Section 10 |

Author(s):

Subject:
System Dynamics |

There are several characteristics of complex systems that can be discussed with students during these lessons. The fictitious city seems to face a dilemma; the tanning industry provides needed jobs in the present, but water pollution can cause serious detrimental effects over the long term. This is closely coupled with the idea that cause and effect in complex systems are often separated by time and space.
In the case of pollution, contamination can take decades to produce measurable effects. In the meantime, the range of impact can spread far from the initial source via transport in water, wind, etc. Finally, the lesson mentions that tanning has been outsourced from this country to developing countries; a classic case of "shifting the burden." Rather than allowing the true costs of tanning to be reflected in the prices of the finished goods, the industry itself escapes pressure to reform by sending the negative consequences to other, less regulated countries. |

| Lessons from The Lorax: Using Graphs to Study Change |
|
|
Author(s):
Rob Quaden, & Alan Ticotsky |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
In this lesson, students read The Lorax and draw graphs to illustrate the changes that happen over the course of the story. Using simply stated questions, readers grapple with the complex themes in the book and movie. Students will investigate how cycles compete for dominance, and think about how the needs of business and natural resources can collide.
Complex Systems Connection: Separate Cause and Effect, Short and Long Term Conflicts.
Short-term focus on making money results in depletion of resource and environmental degradation over time and the collapse of the business. Actions and consequences are separated by time. |

From Catalina Foothills School District. Draft of material field tested during the 97-98 school year, in which students will analyze a current dynamic system, make predictions about what happens if variables change, validate the current system through appropriate readings, and modify the model to reflect possible changes. This unit is species and location specific, but the model and presentation style are adaptable.
Complex Systems Connection: Short and Long Term Conflicts. The ranchers want more grazing land for their cattle now; biologists want to make sure that the ecosystem health is maintained for the long-term. Students take on a role as representative for the Cattle Association in order to investigate the effects of grazing on the land. |

Subject:
Cross-Curricular |

Lesson 7 from "Dollars and Sense: Stay in the Black: Saving and Spending," a Personal Finance Curriculum. In developing an understanding of how the pieces of our economic system work together, students should start with a deepened understanding of their own finances. This set of lessons focuses on core saving and spending systems that shape the outcomes of personal financial decisions. Future modules will link these saving and spending concepts with other important elements of personal finance (investment, credit, debt, and human capital).
