Update of /cvsroot/dlese/adn-item-project/vocabs In directory sc8-pr-cvs12.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv14480/vocabs Modified Files: standardsNSEScontent.xsd Log Message: Added missing text of Evidence, models, and explanation to 5-8 Unifying 4th level std.

Systems can consist, for example, of organisms, machines, fundamental particles, galaxies, ideas, numbers, transportation, and education. Systems have boundaries, components, resources flow (input and output), and feedback. The goal of this standard is to think and analyze in terms of systems. Thinking and analyzing in terms of systems will help students keep track of mass, energy, objects, organisms, and events referred to in the other content standards. The idea of simple systems encompasses subsystems as well as identifying the structure and function of systems, feedback and equilibrium, and the distinction between open and closed systems. Types and levels of organization provide useful ways of thinking about the world."/> ! <xsd:enumeration value="NSES:5-8:Unifying Concepts and Processes Standards:Evidence consists of observations and data on which to base scientific explanations. Using evidence to understand interactions allows individuals to predict changes in natural and designed systems. Models are tentative schemes or structures that correspond to real objects, events, or classes of events, and that have explanatory power. Models help scientists and engineers understand how things work. Models take many forms, including physical objects, plans, mental constructs, mathematical equations, and computer simulations.

Changes might occur, for example, in properties of materials, position of objects, motion, and form and function of systems. Interactions within and among systems result in change. Changes vary in rate, scale, and pattern, including trends and cycles. Energy can be transferred and matter can be changed.
