Systems thinking is an important concept across the Earth sciences. In this game, students either are a part of a system or serve as scientists tasked with observing and making sense of the system moving in front of them.

Given verbal and/or algebraic descriptions of situations involving systems of linear equations, the student will solve the system of equations using graphs. Incorporates GeoGebra applets.
