Elisabeth,
Carlisle teachers Alan Ticotsky and Rob Quaden have developed a nice lesson to help kids understand the collapse of the kelp forest ecosystem in the Aleutian Islands. Kids use connection circles to discover the delicate balance of reinforcing and balancing feedback loops in the ecosystem.

The lesson will be in The Shape of Change, a book of lessons that will be available soon through the CLE, at the conference and online.

It may be of some help in your work.
