Energy Systems & Interactions Change Models Properties & Patterns Overarching Themes To Enhance Conceptual Understanding Properties & Patterns Properties & Patterns
ENERGY • Was energy used in this investigation? • Where did the energy come from or go to? • Did the energy change forms? • How do you know what energy was involved? What evidence so you have?
SYSTEMS & INTERACTIONS • Can you identify a system and its parts? • What is the function of the system? • Is the system essential? Why or why not? • Are all of the parts of the system essential? • How do the parts of the system interact to allow the system to accomplish its function? • Can this system interact with other systems? When, how and why?
CHANGE • What change occurred in this investigation? • What caused the changes? • What stayed the same in the investigation? • What was the rate of change? Did change occur quickly or slowly? • Could you do something to change the rate of change?
PROPERTIES & PATTERNS • What properties did you observe? • What makes the object or event we observed different from anything else? • What patterns did you observe in this investigation? • Could you use patterns you observed to make predictions?
MODELS • How is this model similar to the real world? • How is this model different from the real world? • What does this model show? • What are the limitations of this model? What does it not show? • How could this model be improved? • Who might use this model? What would they do with it?
