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)
Lesson 2
Particularly in Lesson 2, as students experiment with The Game of Life, they will see how patterns emerge unexpectedly at higher scales that are not present at smaller scales. (Like patterns they say when zoomed out on a big grid that are not present when zoomed in).

Lesson 6
Data Streams: A crash course in data literacy using stream ecology
Level-up data literacy skills by practicing the "PPSTT" Framework for unlocking any graph's secrets. Students watch scientists model this approach & then try it on their own using multiple data types, including: the frequency of certain words in books, streamflow rates, and maps.
Alignment summary( Target)
