Acting on influence

“Baskets are man-made, but to make them, you need things that are

natural, like grasses and sticks. That is a system.”

KATIE BETHEL, 9

“A natural system affects another natural system by interfering

with it. Indians live for a long time and survive on berries. If an

Indian eats a poisonous growing berry, it might kill that Indian.

Then it will stop that natural system.”

KATE LAMAS, 9

“Rivers can effect man-made systems because they can flood houses

and stuff like that.”

JOSH GIGER, 10

“Different systems influence each other because you need nature to

make the weapons we used a long time ago and the weapons we use

today.”

SYDNEY RAGUSE, 9

“Seafood is a natural system, and without the sea, you can’t have

seafood and you can’t make man-made systems like lamp oil, food,

picks and combs.”

BEN COOPER, 9

“The smoke from factories pollutes the air and kills some animals

and fish. Without them, we would not have meat.”

NICHOLAS ROY, 9

“Animals are systems because they help people by giving food and

clothing.”
