Welcome!
• Sign in at front table• Find a spot• Grab a snack (we will have more substantial
snacks later )• Self assess on the Sticky Dot Poster at back of
room• We will start at 4:30ish
Digging Deeper into Systems, Inquiry, & ApplicationPart 1: Systems Thinking
namedateemail
Overview
• Session 1: – Systems Overview– Tools for teaching systems
• Session 2: – Inquiry- Beyond the Scientific Method– Application- The Design Process and Engineering
Goals
Participants will:
Understand Systems Thinking in WA science standards and beyond
Engage with a variety of activities and lessons for teaching and learning about Systems
Listen, talk, and share ideas with other teachers
Access and understand a variety of tools for teaching the systems standards
About Me

Fist to Five
Rate your current understanding of Systems Thinking…
Fist = Huh??? (no understanding)
1 finger = initial understanding
2 = I’m looking forward to learning
more3 = I get it and I try to add to my
instruction
4 = I intentionally teach systems
standards in my science class
5 = expert level… I could teach
adults about this
Our Initial Ideas about SystemsIs it a System?• Visit each object with
a partner• Is the object a
system? Explain• As a table group: Draft
a Systems Definition on a strip of paper
Object System?Yes or No
Explain
Lava lamp
Air Plant
Seeds
Sticky Notes
How People Learn3 Key Findings
System Cards• Read your System Card(s)• Identify the “gist” of your card• As a table group, take turns
sharing the gist of the System Cards
• What new ideas and new thinking are you getting from the cards?
• Would you use any of these excerpts for instruction with students? Why/why not?
WE will come back together at 6:15
Sticky Notes: System or Not a System?With a partner:1. Read each student idea2. What does each student
seem to know about systems?
3. What probing question might you ask to uncover more understanding of systems
A good question frame-“What would you say to someone who said…?”
- Organizes multiple systems tools and resources in one place- Systems overview- Standards- Test & Item Specs- Instructional tools- Vocab list- Assessment examples- Digital document contains embedded hyperlinks- Should be a useful document for your planning
Systems Questions:1. Find a partner2. Take turns reading the Questions to Ask about Systems
3. Note where you could use the question with your instructional materials.
Ladybug Toy SystemLesson
• Examine your Ladybug Toy System
• Use the sheet to guide your thinking about the Ladybug Toy as a System
• Complete each question with a partner
Select one object from the Systems Centers and examine it using the BSQ.a. How does this “model” help you think about systems ideas?b. How is this different than asking “is it a system?”c. How could you use this framework with your students?d. How does this framework connect with systems standards in your grade band?
MatterScience: Matter has mass and takes up
space
Simplified: Matter is the stuff of our world
EnergyScience: Energy is the ability to do work
Simplified: Energy makes matter move, raises its temperature, melts solids, and boils liquids.Energy causes changes in matter.
ENERGY is…
The NON-Stuff that moves through stuff and makes the stuff do stuff
Energy Transfer
Describe the energy transfers in the system. An energy transfer is when a form of energy moves from one part of a system to another. For example, in a cup of hot water, heat energy is transferred from the hot water to the cup.

Cup
Decrease in heat energy
Increase in heat energy
Energy Source Energy Receiver
…Are there other energy TRANSFERS happening?
Energy Transformation
An energy transformation is when energy in one form is converted into a different form.
For example, when you rub your hands together, the energy of motion (kinetic) changes into heat (thermal) energy.

Holding a bottle of water……is it hot or cold?
Observe the video for energy transfers:
• What is the energy SOURCE?• What is the energy RECEIVER?
…What else is going on here (with ENERGY)?

Take Home Messages
• We are surrounded by opportunities to teach systems ideas to students.
• Most science instructional materials DON’T have an intentional Systems focus.
• There are lots of tools and resources for teaching students about Systems.
• Systems Thinking is an important 21st Century Skill
