“Speed Dating” Definitions key Patterns Cause and effect Scale, proportion, and quantity Systems and system models Energy and matter Structure and function Stability and change The CCC of ____ highlights that structures or events are often consistent and repeated. The CCC of ____ investigates how things are connected by identifying the reasons behind an occurrence, and what that occurrence results in. Different measures of size and time affect a system’s structure, performance, and our ability to observe phenomena. The CCC of _____ helps us understand the world by describing how things connect and interact. We can use simple representations to explore these interactions. These things are neither created nor destroyed, but may flow into and out of a system and influence its functioning. The way something is built and the parts that it has determine how it works. Over time, a system might stay the same or become different, depending on a variety of factors.
