Thinking in Systems - Level 1 - Parts Working Together
In this video Paul Andersen shows conceptual thinking in a mini-lesson on systems as parts working together. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides.
TERMS
System - a set of components (e.g. things) working together
Part - a piece of an object or organism
This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. "Systems in the natural and designed world have parts that work together."
