Public Policy can be improved by the use of system dynamics models. Drew Jones will share some of his experiences using system dynamics models and diagrams to improve public policy, on topics ranging from public health to global climate change. Drew was a student of Dana Meadows’ and co-received the “ASysT Prize” for “a significant accomplishment achieved through the application of Systems Thinking to a problem of US national significance.”

| Infection Game For Primary Students (Grades K-3) |

Author(s):
Anne LaVigne, & Lindsey Buckler |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
This lesson is similar to the “The Infection Game” lesson in The Shape of Change. The activity rules are modified for younger children who do not know the concept of multiplication. The handouts and debrief questions are aimed at younger students. In addition, a simple online simulation is available as an extension. Students explore what happens to the number of people “infected” over time. Infections can include the spread of an illness, the spread of a good idea, or the spread of kindness. |
