reflection\n1. how do technological systems make our lives ____________?\n2. what are the potential ____________ of complex systems?\n3. can you think of a system that combines ____________ categories?\n\nexit ticket\n1. the main difference between simple and complex systems is: ____________\n2. in a faulty satellite dish scenario, the missing component might be: ____________\n3. classify the following systems:\n - heart rate monitor: ____________ system\n - wind farm: ____________ system\n - construction blueprint: ____________ system
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Technological systems can make our lives more convenient, efficient, connected etc. due to features like automation and instant - communication capabilities.
- Potential of complex systems can include high - performance in achieving complex tasks, innovation opportunities, but also potential for failures and difficulties in management.
- A smart home system combines categories like security, climate control, and entertainment. For the Exit Ticket:
- Simple systems have fewer components and interactions, while complex systems have many components with intricate interactions.
- In a faulty satellite dish, a missing component might be a reflector, a feed horn, or a mounting part.
- Heart rate monitor: Simple system as it has a relatively straightforward function of measuring heart rate. Wind farm: Complex system due to multiple turbines, electrical infrastructure etc. Construction blueprint: Simple system as it is a static plan for a construction project.
Answer:
- More convenient/efficient/connected (any reasonable positive aspect)
- Benefits and challenges (or specific aspects like innovation and potential failures)
- Smart home (or other reasonable combined - category system) Exit Ticket:
- The number of components and interactions (complex has more)
- Reflector/feed horn/mounting part (any relevant part)
- Heart rate monitor: Simple; Wind farm: Complex; Construction blueprint: Simple
