Key Concepts: (pick only one)Aesthetics deals with the characteristics, creation, meaning and perception of beauty and taste. The study of aesthetics develops skills for the critical appreciation and analysis of art, culture and nature.

Change is a conversion, transformation, or movement from one form, state or value to another. Inquiry into the concept of change involves understanding and evaluating causes, processes and consequences.

Communication is the exchange or transfer of signals, facts, ideas and symbols. It requires a sender, a message and an intended receiver. Communication involves the activity of conveying information or meaning. Effective communication requires a common 'language' (which may be written, spoken or non-verbal).

Communities are groups that exist in proximity defined by space, time or relationship. Communities include, for example, groups of people sharing particular characteristics, beliefs or values as well as groups of interdependent organisms living together in a specific habitat.

Connections are links, bonds and relationships among people, objects, organisms or ideas.

Creativity is the process or ability to make or produce something new and original, often characterized by the use of imagination or divergent thinking. It may be evident in the process as well as the outcome, solution or product.

Culture encompasses a range of learned and shared beliefs, values, interests, attitudes, products, ways of knowing and patterns of behaviour created by human communities. The concept of culture is dynamic and organic.

Development is the act or process of growth, progress or evolution, sometimes through iterative improvements.

Form is the shape and underlying structure of an entity or piece of work, including its organization, essential nature and external appearance.

Global interaction focuses on the connections among individuals and communities, as well as their relationships with built and natural environments, from the perspective of the world as a whole.

Identity is the state or fact of being the same. It refers to the particular features which define individuals, groups, things, eras, places, symbols and styles. Identity can be observed, or it can be constructed, asserted, and shaped by external and internal influences.

Logic is a method of reasoning and a system of principles used to build arguments and reach conclusions.

Perspective is the position from which we observe situations, objects, facts, ideas and opinions. Perspective may be associated with individuals, groups, cultures or disciplines. Different perspectives often lead to multiple

Relationships are the connections and associations between properties, objects, people and ideas-including the human community's connections with the world in which we live. Any change in relationship brings consequences-some of which

representations and interpretations. may occur on a small scale, while others may be far reaching, affecting large networks and systems like human societies and the planetary ecosystem.

Systems are sets of interacting or interdependent components. Systems provide structure and order in human, natural and built environments. Systems can be static or dynamic, simple or complex.

Time, place and space The intrinsically-linked concept of time, space and place refers to the absolute or relative position of people, objects and ideas. 'Time, place and space' focuses on how we construct and use our understanding of location (“where” and “when”).

Common Core Mathematical Practices:1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. (I can understand & solve

problems without giving up.)2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (I can think about numbers in many ways.)3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. (I can explain my

thinking and try to understand the thought process of others.)4. Model with mathematics. (I can show my work in many ways.)5. Use appropriate tools strategically. (I can use math tools and explain why I chose them.)6. Attend to precision. (I can problem solve carefully and check my work.)7. Look for and make use of structure. (I can use what I know to solve new problems.)8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. (I can solve problems by looking

for rules and patterns.)
