Today introduced systems & discussed technologies.
A system is anything with parts that work together.
Technologies are things created by humans to make things easier or to solve problems.
We played a game: "Is it a Technology," where students were teamed up and asked to identify if items are technologies or not. (computer: yes, camera: yes, turtle shell: no)
We then discussed how complicated this idea can become. For example, a rock is not a technology, but if a human uses the rock to solve a problem (arrowhead or hammer), is the rock then considered a technology?
Here is our collage showing Natural & Man-Made Systems
