Lesson 6 Part 3- Systems and System Models

This is Part 3 in a 4-part series in which students create four mini field guides. Each field guide focuses on one NGSS Cross-Cutting Concept. In this lesson, students focus on SYSTEMS AND SYSTEM MODELS and study the interactions of the parts within a system. Additionally, we focus on page presentation; students plan their page before beginning their study. As with previous lessons, the REFLECTION writing component includes questions and instruction on answering them in Question/Answer Form and creating a coherent scientific paragraph
