7. Fields of Knowledge - Science, Math, and Technology
Systems
| SYSTEMS 7.11 ANALYSIS: | Grades K-2, (5-8 year-olds) | Grades 3-5, (8-11 year-olds) | Grades 6-8, (11-14 year-olds) |
| Students analyze and understand living and non-living
systems as collections of interrelated parts and interconnected systems.
This is evident when students:
7.11 Analysis |
· Understand that most things are made of parts.
· Show that something may not work if some of its parts are missing. · Show that when parts are put together, they can do things that they could not do by themselves. · Can apply knowledge about systems to explain systems such as food chains or solar system. |
· Show that a system may not work as well (or
at all) if a part of it is missing, worn out, mismatched, or misconnected.
· Demonstrate understanding that systems include inputs, processes, and outputs (e.g. food chains). · Use physical and mathematical models to show how, in a system, inputs affect outputs. · Demonstrate understanding that systems are connected to other systems, and that one system affects how others work (.e.g. agricultural systems (watershed, forests). |
· Demonstrate that systems are effectively designed
with specifications and that constraints are understood.
· Construct and use physical and mathematical models to express how systems behave, given a set of inputs or outputs (e.g. water cycle). · Understand that a system can include processes as well as things. · Understand that any system is usually connected to other systems, both internally and externally. Thus, a system may be thought of as containing subsystems and as being a subsystem of a larger system. |
