“Systems Thinking: Batteries and Electric Cars” by Madison Fitzpatrick and Mark Vondracek

Edited by Kristi Ryken

Batteries are highly relevant to both physics and chemistry, with many interesting real-world applications. Students will learn how batteries work and will apply systems thinking in order to ask questions and define problems associated with batteries. They will then apply this knowledge of batteries to think conceptually about a battery as a component of a larger system, an electric car.
