Practical Applications of Systems Thinking and STELLA in the High School Setting Presented by: Jeremy Merritt, Mark Clemente VSTE 2009

What is a system? “A system is an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something” Donella H. Meadows, Thinking in Systems: A Primer (Chelsea Green Publishing, 2008) 11

Examples of Systems DigestiveForestCommunity

Bathtubs A bathtub is a simple system

Bathtub System 11:46 AM Fri, Feb 20, 2009 Water in bathtub Minutes 1: : Bathtub Draining

Understanding Behavior Over Time Dynamic Equilibrium 11:34 AM Fri, Feb 20, 2009 Water in bathtub Minutes 1: : Bathtub 1111

Stocks & Flows The bathtub is a stock

Stocks & Flows The faucet and the drain are flows

Modeling Systems with STELLA

Other Stocks & Flows Same thing, different units

Feedback Loops A feedback loop occurs when a stock affects its flows R

Feedback Loops Reinforcing Loops R R R

Behavior vs. Data It’s important to focus on behavior when you’re thinking about systems R

Feedback Loops Balancing Loop

Balancing Loops Time 1: : Population

Applying Systems Thinking in the Classroom Use Systems Thinking Stock & flow Mapping Use Model-based Concepts Materials Non-software-based Software-based

Earth Systems Science & STELLA An example: GLOBE Carbon Cycle Program Bringing cutting edge research & techniques into the classroom STELLA models that use input data collected by students and researchers Focus on using technology & modeling to give students an understanding of local and global carbon cycles

Lessons in Mathematics Lessons in Mathematics: A Dynamic Approach by Diana Fisher provides a set of materials that can be used to supplement current curriculum for Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and Calculus classes.
