Some Basic Concepts in System Dynamics (D-4894) |
|
Author(s):
Jay W. Forrester |
Subject:
System Dynamics |
|
In its full development, system dynamics is a discipline with the scope of science, education, law, engineering, or medicine. On the other hand, it is becoming clear that teachers in ordinary K-12 schools can make enough progress in two or three years to achieve major improvement in students’ thinking, self reliance, and enthusiasm for learning.This paper gives a glimpse of the principles and concepts that make up an understanding of complex social and economic systems. |

Stream Assimilation Capacity for Waste Material |
|
Author(s):
Tran Pham |
Subject:
Science |
|
From the Maryland Virtual High School. The unit objective is to develop a model which will simulate the biodegradable process of man-made waste released into a stream. Students can design, experiment, collect data, build a model, evaluate the model, and redesign it to produce a working model applying appropriate mathematics and chemistry concepts. Funded by the Gordon Brown Fund. |
