- Abstract
The article discusses Systems and System Models, one of the Crosscutting Concepts of the U.S. Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Topics discussed include young children beginning to understand the definition of a system when teachers refer to systems of just two object interacting, such as a cup and straw. Also mentioned are the Project Approach way of developing a unit of study, as well as topics that will fascinate children, such as containers, sinks and toilets, and their own bodies.
