The Iceberg Visual is a framework that illustrates aspects (or levels) of a system. It provides a powerful analogy to show how people often focus on what is most visible. In terms of an actual iceberg, this is the tip visible above the water line. The visible parts of a system are typically the events. The Iceberg Visual can help individuals and groups understand and communicate a big picture of how a system operates, acknowledging aspects of a system beyond the discrete events, to include the dynamic patterns, structures and underlying mental models and beliefs within the system that are often unseen.
The Iceberg: Scientific Phenomenon template is for science teachers to guide students through sensemaking using systems thinking tools and science practices.
