Computational Thinking for Youth in Action (2011)

This is an early paper of Computational Thinking that has a lot of traction. It's where we first describe the Use-Modify-Create trajectory.

Introducción al modelado del clima

Documento base como introducción al modelado del clima. Habla sobre el sistema climático global como un sistema dinámico complejo; la diferencia entre tiempo y clima; los ciclos de retroalimentación en el sistema climático global, etc.
Fue extraído de “Mathematics of Climate Change: A new discipline for an uncertain century” una publicación del Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias Matemáticas. Berkeley, CA 2007 y traducido al español.

Ecosistemas como sistemas complejos

Documento que presenta las bases para abordar los ecosistemas como sistemas complejos adaptativos.

This is a document that describes the Making Sense of Models project.

NGSS Standards

Document highlighting the conceptual shifts in the Next Generation Science Standards

Crosswalks

These documents are crosswalks between the National Research Council's Framework for K-12 Science Education and CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards. They are designed to show the relationship between modeling and simulation and the scientific practices elucidated in the Standards.
