|
THE TEACHER COMPREHENDS WHAT?
|
THAT ALL BRANCHES OF SCIENCE ARE CONNECTED BY UNIFYING CONCEPTS AND PROCESSES
|
|
|
SYSTEMS PART 1 DEFINE A SYSTEM
|
A SYSTEM IS A GROUP OF OBJECTS OR ENTITIES CREATING A WHOLE IN WHICH EACH ELEMENT INTERACTS WITH OR IS RELATED TO ANOTHER OBJECT
|
|
|
SYSTEMS PART 2-SUBSYSTEMS
|
SUBYSTEM EXIST, WITHIN THE LARGER SYSTEM
|
|
|
SYSTEMS PART 3-ALL ELEMENTS
|
OF A SYSTEM ARE IMPORTANT FOR THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING OF THE SYSTEM; IF A PART OF A SYSTEM CEASES TO FUNCTION, THEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SUFFERS AND EITHER STOPS WORKING COMPLETELO OR FUNCTINS INCORRECTLY
|
|
|
B SYSTEMS CAN BE SIMPLE OR COMPLEX-opended
|
!) THEY HAVE BASIC PROPERITES THAT CAN BE DESCRIBED I N TERMS OF SPACE, TIME, ENERGY, AND MATTER, AND THEY ARE SUBJECT TO CYCLES, STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES
|
|
|
B SYSTEMS CAN BE SIMPLE OR COMPLEX-closed
|
2) PATTERNS PRESENT THEMSELVES IN SYSTEMS IN THE FORM OF CHANGE AND CONSTANCY
|
|
|
B SYSTEMS CAN BE SIMPLE OR COMPLEX-Dynanic systems
|
3) THIS PATTERNS CAN BE OBSERVED IN ORDER TO USE THEM AS PREDICTIVE TOOLS
Hint: THE FOLLOWING ARE SUBJECT TO CYCLES, STRUCTURES, AND PROCESSES |
Dynamic
|
|
open systems
|
Open: an open system is capable of exchanging matter, energy or information with its surrounding environment
|
open
|
|
closed systems
|
CLOSED A closed system is not capable of exchanging matter, energy or information with the outside environment and so is self-contained.
Outside events have no influence on what occurs in this system is destined to stop after a period of time. |
closed
|
|
dyanmic system
|
Dynamic system: Systems that have variable relations with their surroundings
Some examples of systems include |
variable relations
|
|
A) Natural systems-
|
A) Natural systems-These include things such as the ecosystem, the solar system, the water cycle, and living organisms.
|
ecosystem such as the water cycle and living organisms
|
|
B) Human-made systems-
|
B) Human-made systems-As the name implies, these are systems that are man mad, such as the machine.
|
systems that man made like a machine
|
|
C) Physical-or THERMOdynamic systems-these systems are based solely on matter and energy
|
C) Physical-or THERMOdynamic systems-these systems are based solely on matter and energy
|
soley on matter and energy
|
|
D) Living systems-
|
D) Living systems-this type of system can be either part of (such as gene networks) or a whole living organism, members of a group of organisms tht interact with other members of a group of organisms that interact with other members, or groups of organisms that interact with other groups. Living systems are types of natural systems.
|
organizms that intreact with other groups
|
|
Models discussed
|
Scientists need to refer to models in order to understand systems, a model is a representation or description of something, specifically one that can be used to make predictions that can be tested by experiemtn or observation
|
defination of a modol
|
|
Models discussed
|
Often the representation has been constructed from a particlular point
|
a particular viewpiont
|
|
Order to address some speicific , desire of the investigator, and for this one must always be careful in choosing which model and what exactly needs to be studied
|
Order to address some speicific , of the investigator, and for this one must always be careful in choosing which model and what exactly needs to be studied
|
researchers need to be sensitive of what modols they choose
|
|
Models can be used in what three ways
|
Physcial Models
Mathmatical models Abstract (conceptual Model) |
Physical mode
math models abctract-theoritical models |
|
Defination of an abstract model is a what?
|
A therotical construct that represents something, with variables among which there is a set of locgial relationships
|
therotical construct
|
|
Three Kinds fo enabling easoing with a framework of logical, idealized of models have the purpose of the formulation enabing reasoning within a framework of logical, idealized cconcepts that allow the formulation of soluology, anong other tions
|
Indeed, abstract models are used for discovering ne facts for evaluating hypotheses, for devising experimental procedurs
|
more theory of abstract models
|
|
Models especially abstract ones, can be used to construct ccomputer simulations tha can display teh behavior of a system over time, Simulations can be used to unravel trrends and consequences following changes
|
of variables in ecomomics, biology, ecology, and m eteorolgy, among other areas
|
|
|
THOUGH SCIENTIFIC ENDEAVORS ARE DIVIDED INTO DIFFRENT BRANCHES LIKE A TREE, SUCH AS THE CHEMISTRY BRANCH, AND BIOLOGY BRANCH
|
THE TEACHER MUST REALIZE THAT THERE ARE PRINCIPLES AND PROCESSES THAT UNITE TEHSE BRANCHES
|
the tree
|
|
POSSIBLY THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPT IS THAT:
|
OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH ENCLOSES A SET OF GENERAL CHARATERISTICS APPLICABLE TO ALL SCIENTIFIC DISPLINES
|
WHICH ENCLOSES A SET OF GENERAL CHARATERISTICS APPLICABLE TO ALL SCIENTIFIC DISPLINES
|
|
What ever part of the science tree is being studied, the teacher must know that
|
models are useful tools in studying and understanding systems, teh teacher should be familiar with and know how to use some of the more common models
|
Models should be used for most systems
