Part/Component
The system or object under study. Not a representation
artificial border surrounding a system to study the system
Representation of the actual system
Something made of two or more parts working together to perform a function
Piece of a system
A smaller system (something made of two or more parts) within another system.
When energy moves from one system (object) to another system (object)
When matter can enter and leave a system.
When matter cannot enter or leave a system, but energy can enter/leave
3D smaller items, computer simulations, diagrams, pictures.
When matter or energy leaves a system
What a system is designed for...it's job/role
Systems effect other systems. Objects and energy will leave one system and enter another system.
Energy can change from one type of energy to another type of energy when it interacts with a system
For tracking energy and matter flows so that we can better understand the concept
When matter or energy moves inside of a system
When matter or energy enters a system
