| A Systems View of Growing and Developing for Young Children |

|
Author(s):
Greg Reid |
Subject:
Science |

From Catalina Foothills School District. Through the use of BOTGs, students will understand that body size and skill mastery is usually dependent upon age. In addition, they will discuss practices that will help develop their physical and learning skills.
Complex Systems Connection: Separate Cause and Effect, Short and Long Term Conflicts. Using BOTGs showing age and abilities, students can gain an understanding of how actions in the present affect results in the future and how we might need to do more of what we don't want to do now (spending time studying instead of playing, for example) in order to reap the benefits in the future. |

Nancy Campbell, & Ron Michalak |
Subject:
English |

From Catalina Foothills School District. Following a physical simulation, students use Behavior over Time Graphs to study the "Animal Farm" and "chocolate" systems, and make oral and written connections between the novel and the simulation. After reading the novel, students relate it to the Success to the Successful archetype.
Complex Systems Connection: Cause within System. The success of the three groups is based largely on the "rules" of the game, not on the abilities or talents of the "players" The system structure generates the problem of some groups getting greater and greater success, while others become worse off over time. |

Complex Systems Connection: Separate Cause and Effect.
