Activity One – Guide
If possible cast the game onto a big screen.
Play levels 1 & 2 as a class
Once you reach level 3:
- Move the bar to the left of the screen
- Press play
- Class discussion – what do we think happened here? Why might this have occurred?
Explanation: This level demonstrates we can not always predict the movement of a system purely based on the parts we can see – We need to see how the nodes interact within a system
Nodes are important parts of a system that help everything else work together.
Think of them like the hub of a wheel that connects all the other parts together.
Question/Class discussion
When we added in the extra ‘bounce’ bar what happened?
Explanation: Node became more important
Level 4 of the activity have students individually:
- Identify the nodes
- Choose a part and describe how it interacts with the system
Have students log in to their module Activity One and complete the set tasks.
