5 Variables Swingers As an extension after conducting Systems Handbook the investigation with the swingers: Systems Questions Use a Systems Framework sheet to examine the following WA Science Standards questions. What are the parts of the WA 5th Grade MSP swinger system? What do the Test & Item Specs parts do? What would happen if the tape Example Systems wasn’t “sticky”? Lessons: Systems What is the input? Centers and Pendulum What is the output? System Use the Pendulum System lesson Systems Thinking Framework grade 4-5 Lifeboats Analyze the Lifeboat and tub of water as a system Plane Sense Analyze the FOSS Plane as a system. Great opportunity to discuss input, output, and energy transfers/transformations. Flippers Analyze the Flipper as a system. Another opportunity to discuss inputs, outputs, and energy. Landforms 2- Stream Analyze the Stream Table as a Table system. This is a good 3- Go with opportunity to discuss inputs the Flow and outputs. Levers and Any Analyze any of the objects as Pulleys systems. Opportunities to discuss subsystems. 4 Magnetism Any Analyze a circuit as a system. and EXCELLENT opportunity to Electricity identify flow of energy through a system and to analyze parts, subsystems, input, output, and, predict what will happen when a part is broken. Earth NONE No clear systems connections Materials here Ideas and Limited Analyze one of the inventions Inventions (periscope) as a system.
