Lesson 6 from "Dollars and Sense: Stay in the Black: Saving and Spending," a Personal Finance Curriculum. In developing an understanding of how the pieces of our economic system work together, students should start with a deepened understanding of their own finances. This set of lessons focuses on core saving and spending systems that shape the outcomes of personal financial decisions. Future modules will link these saving and spending concepts with other important elements of personal finance (investment, credit, debt, and human capital).
Complex Systems Connection: Short and Long Term Conflicts.
Managing money, in personal finances or in running a business, often involves setting both short-term and long-term goals. Sometimes goals are in conflict between these timeframes, such as spending now versus saving/investing for future financial well-being. |

A collection of interactive computer models intended for use in introductory chemistry programs. Each model clarifies fundamental chemical concepts and encourages their exploration by simulating the dynamic behavior of carefully selected systems. Includes: a) Le Chatelier's Principle (Albert Powers). Models for use of STELLA in the exploration of the dynamics of Le Chatelier's Principle. b) Chemical Equilibrium (Albert Powers). The use of STELLA to help elucidate the dynamics of chemical equilibrium. c) Thermal Decomposition of a Metal Carbonate (Albert Powers). Use of STELLA modeling in the exploration of the dynamics of the thermal decomposition of a metal carbonate. Suitable for high school chemistry. d) Dynamic Models for Instruction and Exploration in Chemistry: Water Vapor And Ideal Gas Behavior (Albert L. Powers). Use of STELLA interactive model for use in exploring water vapor and ideal gas behavior. |
