| Consider The Gypsy Moth: An Example of System Dynamics for Carlisle |
|
|
Author(s):
Debra Lyneis |
Subject:
Implementation |
| |
An explanation of how system dynamics would "look" and work in a curriculum, using the gypsy moth caterpillar as a concrete example of its application in a science curriculum. A simple presentation which clearly demonstrates how to start using and understanding basic system dynamics and modeling. |

| Assessing the Effectiveness of Systems Thinking in the Classroom |
|
|
Author(s):
Megan Hopper, & Krystyna A. Stave |
Subject:
Research |
| |
This paper presents an analysis of systems thinking interventions in educational
settings. Although these interventions have been implemented in K-12
classrooms since the mid 1980s, there is still no clear definition of systems
thinking or identification of the best method to test the effectiveness of
interventions or methods for teaching systems thinking The goal of this paper is
to answer the question: how can we best assess the effectiveness of systems
thinking interventions in education? This question begs three sub questions: (1)
what is systems thinking, (2) what systems thinking interventions are being used
in education, and (3) how have the effect of interventions been measured? The
purpose of answering these questions was to propose methods for assessing
systems thinking interventions. The analysis of systems thinking interventions in
the classroom yielded an initial set of guidelines for measuring and raising a
person’s level of systems thinking. |

| Analyzing a Stock and Flow Model to Understand the Body’s Ability to Process Alcohol |
|
|
Author(s):
Ashley Joyce |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
Ms. Joyce's Anatomy and Physiology students at IACS in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, explore the effects of alcohol using a model and simulation developed at the Creative Learning Exchange, Thinking about Drinking. The students analyzed the model and then used it in a cumulative assessment to illustrate connections between the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems.
The paper includes modifications of the handouts found on the CLE website as well as a rubric and other materials for teachers to use this simulation successfully in their classes. The curricular surround starts with students describing their understanding of a breathalyser and Blood Alcohol Content from their previous knowledge and finishes with a final poster to communicate students' learning. |
