A System of Systems

by: Barney Peterson
edited by: Linda Froschauer

This chapter features a STEM investigation project for intermediate students with real-life connections. The goals for this unit were to help the students understand systems and system models in real-world contexts and to be able to distinguish the parts of systems and their functions. Students would also use the speaking, listening, technology, and teamwork skills to create a communications product for an audience beyond the classroom. A materials list, teacher background information, and outcomes are provided. This book selection includes the Table of Contents, Introduction, References, Internet Resource, and Index.
