4 Alignment with New York State Science Standards & Performance Indicators Standard 6: Interconnectedness 1. Through systems thinking, they recognize commonalities that exist and how parts of a system interrelate and combine to perform special functions 2. Models are simplified representations 3. Grouping by magnitudes into a series provides a useful way to deal with the immense range and changes in scale 4. Equilibrium is a state of stability 5. Identifying patterns for change is necessary for making predictions about future behavior and conditions Standard 7: Interdisciplinary Problem Solving 1. The knowledge and skills of mathematics, science, and technology are used together to make informed decisions and solve problems 2. Solving interdisciplinary problems involves a variety of skills and strategies such as effective work habits, gathering information, generating ideas, making connections, and presenting ideas 4
