Animal Collective: How group behavior can produce surprising problems—and solutions!
Students will draw their own social networks, ponder the meaning of complexity and begin to notice unexpected patterns that emerge around them, unnoticed. Through hands-on activities and digital experiments, students will discover how complexity research enriches our daily lives.
Alignment summary( Target)
Lessons: 2, 4, 5
In Lesson 2, students will try to predict the behavior of "The Game of Life" simulation to begin to understand emergence. In lesson 4, they will change parameters controlling a fish schooling simulation to run experiments. In Lesson 5, they'll apply all their understanding of complexity and emergence to test how social media parameters lead to the formation of Echo Chambers.
